Welcome Back-To-School Notebook Cookies

     

School is back! 

In our household, it was the start of kindergarten this week. Like many moms who have new kindergarteners, this will be the first time my child will be going to school five days a week. Most of her days will be spent away from home and it’s just of a big change for me as it is for my daughter. I plan to spend more quality time with her on the weekends and these notebook cookies are a perfect activity to do together. Not only are they fun to make, but we can also discuss the first days of school during the prep process! 

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup or 1 1/2 sticks softened butter
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla 
1 egg
