Extend the fun of Ruff's Cookie Creator and make your own Cookie Cookbook!

To create the Cookie Cookbook, follow the folding directions below or refer to the Cookie Cookbook Visual Folding Instructions handout.

Fold the paper in half lengthwise (hot dog) and crease the fold. Unfold the paper.
Fold the paper in half widthwise (hamburger) and crease the fold. Unfold the paper.
Fold each end of the paper to the widthwise (hamburger) crease you just made in the middle. Unfold the paper.
Fold the paper in half widthwise (hamburger) so the content is on the outside.
Cut the paper from the fold to the dot. Unfold the paper.
Fold the paper in half lengthwise (hot dog) so the content is on the outside.
Stand the paper on its edge with the slit at the top.
Pull the slit apart to make a diamond.
Push the ends of the paper together to make a + shape.
Close the book. Page 1 is the front and page 8 is the back. Crease all folds.

Instruct children to fill in their Cookie Cookbook. They should record the first combination of ingredients they try in Ruff’s Cookie Creator on page 2 and how long they baked that recipe for on page 3. Then, encourage them to continue to invent recipes until they find one that is just right. Ask them to fill in how many tries it took them on page 4. On page 5, they should write one positive thing they said or thought when things didn’t go as they had planned. They should record their favorite cookie recipe and corresponding baking time on pages 6 and 7. Have them write their name on page 8, and their cookbook is complete!
