Ahhh.... Making cookies!

A few weeks ago, I made cookies with my section of 15 to 17 year old girls. Cooking is always a worthwhile activity to plan because it is a good skill for the teenagers to learn, and it´s relaxing and fun for everyone! Every week, I plan something with this group of kids outside of school so that they can do different types of activities. I had a High School Musical night with them once in which we watched the movie and raffled off prizes. Another time, we made pizza and drank flavored tea. We have spent many afternoons walking to the village and playing soccer, as most kids in this country are utterly obsessed with soccer. Yet another day, the girls taught me how to make yarn bracelets.

The cookies turned out well... and were a good break from the usual black beans and rice.
