Mrs. Stapleton’s Grade 1/2 class at Maitland River Elementary School knows a thing or two about Christmas cookies and they’ve got some unique ideas about how to make their favourite baked snack. “I like gingerbread cookies, me and my brother had cutters and we cut the dough and put them in the oven. There’s nothing in the dough to make them except dough and ginger. Then you cut and cook them.” Devin J. “I like gingerbread men, but I don’t really know how to make them. I think all you do is put ginger and sugar in the oven and then the oven makes them for you.” CJ B. “I like chocolate chips all through the year. When you want to make them, you just put them in the oven. They are made of three different kinds of chocolate. Chocolate chips, chocolate powder and chocolate dough.” Amelia F. “I like gingerbread men, but to make it you have to make a mess. You need ginger and ploppy oatmeal. You probably need a container for all the ginger and you put it in the stove. You probably take it out of the oven after two minutes and make shapes with those silver things. Then you wait for them to cool down and eat them” Zayd F. “I like gingerbread houses. First you take milk and bread and ginger and mix up with more milk. Then you put it in the oven until it’s cooked. Then you ice it with an icing tube and build buildings out of it.” Mara G. “Gingerbread are my favourite holiday cookies. I think you pour some sugar into cookie mix and put it in the oven to make it. Then you can eat them, all of them.” Faith H. “My mom makes candy cane cookies and they are my favourite. She makes plain cookies and puts broken candy cane pieces in them. She cooks it before she puts the candy cane in them. Then we get to eat them all.” Charlotte M. “I like gingerbread men and houses and to make them you get the dough and roll it into shapes before you cook it. The dough is made out of flour, ginger, eggs, milk and spices.” Travis B. “My favourite kind of cookies is gingerbread. You use some ginger to make them and also some dough and the things that shape it into gingerbread men and walls for gingerbread houses then you put them in the oven. Then you let it cool down and share it with everyone.” Carson B. “I like gingerbread cookies and I don’t know how to make it. I think you would put some sugar in the mix and mix it into dough. Then you put them in the oven for 10 minutes. Then you take them out of the oven and cut them.” Dylan D. “Gingerbread cookies are my favourite. You get some dough, and it has spice in it, then you bake it and put some sugar and stuff on top. Then you eat it, that’s the best part. Taten F. “I like squares, they are my favourite. They have marshmallows and peanut butter in them. I would probably mix it together and make it into a ball, then cut off the sides and put it in the oven. Then you put them out in the cold sometimes. I get to eat them every time.” Hannah L. Going gonzo for ginger Many of Mrs. Stapleton’s Grade 1/2 students at Maitland River Elementary School like a little spice with their cookies, listing gingerbread as their favourite. That said, beyond the ginger, their recipes differ wildly from one other. (Denny Scott photo) MRES students bake cookies Merry Christmas!
