Making Gingerbread cookies

It is Christmas Day - December the 25th, and the children are eager to continue with the Holiday Countdown.  For today, besides doing the Christmas sensorial bin activity while watching the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movie (a Christmas classic we watch every year), Julia is to make Gingerbread cookies.

The recipe is very simple:

• 2 cups of flour,
• 2 tsp baking powder,
• 2 tsp ground ginger,
• 100 g butter,
• 1 cup brown sugar,
• 4 tbsp maple syrup,
• 1 egg.

Julia (6 years) enjoyed a lot cooking independently from the beginning to the end.

The same night it started to snow - the first snow of the season!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!
