Acorn Cookies

Dear Friends,
A big thank you to all who have purchased books! You’ve made my day, as well as Acorn and Button’s! A newsletter will continue being sent out with chapter lesson plans as well as activities. Stay tuned! Below you’ll find an acorn cookie recipe that is super easy and fun. Thanks again!

“What are we doing today, Button?” asked Acorn.
We’re making a special kind of cookie, my friend,” Button replied.
“Whatever kind they are, I know they’ll taste good,” said Acorn.
“Of course! I’m an expert chef!” Button exclaimed. “I believe you’ll really like this cookie because it’s called the ACORN cookie!”
Acorn gulped and felt faint. “You mean it’s made out of acorns?” he asked, trembling.
“Good heavens, no!” Button looked stunned. “We’re not cannibals! The cookie just looks like an acorn.”
“In that case, I’m happy to help!” Acorn said and gave a little skip.
