Cowboy Cookies

Last week Braedi found a book on my shelf called Book Cook. It's full of recipes and activities to go a long with children's stories. She asked if we could do something out of it for our next cooking class and made a list of her favorites. I reserved some of the books at the library and picked one that I had the ingredients for.

We began by reading A Campfire for Cowboy Billy by Wendy Ulmer. It's about a little boy who rides his stick horse on an imaginary journey through the wild west (really New York City). Then we made the cookies. It was a nice recipe because it only made one cookie per person. I think the finished product was supposed to look like a haystack, but you can't make that comparison with ours.

1. Mix together 1 tablespoon peanut butter and 1 tablespoon dry mild in a small bowl.


2. Add 1 teaspoon honey.
3. Add 1 tablespoon chow mein noodles. (Dyllan took a finger-ful instead).
4. Spoon the cookie onto a piece of waxed paper. (The kids just ate it out of the bowl).
I thought they were yummy!
