🍪 Make Your Own Courage Cookie!
Hey, brave Codekeepers! 🦁🧭
In The Courage Code: Secret of the Forgotten Compass (Book 1 of our 25-book Codekeepers series), Jonah and friends discover courage while facing the Fear Brigade’s shadows. But what fuels their bravery? Mrs. Goldstein’s courage cookies! 🍪💛
Inspired by my own baking adventures, here’s a recipe to spark your own courage—perfect for sharing with your team! 👩🍳👨🍳
🍪 Courage Cookie Recipe (Makes ~12 cookies)
📝 Ingredients
1 cup flour (for strength 💪)
½ cup sugar (for sweetness 🍬 — see note below)
½ cup butter (for warmth, like Leo’s glow 🌟)
1 egg (for unity, like the Codekeepers 🤝)
1 tsp vanilla (for a dash of magic ✨)
Sprinkles (for joy, like Jax’s jokes 😂)
🥣 Steps
🧈 Mix butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla — stir with heart! ❤️
🍪 Add flour, mix into dough. Shape into compass or lion shapes (for Jonah and Leo).
🌈 Add sprinkles. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes.
🎉 Cool, share, and enjoy with your team!
💡 Sweetness Note for Parents
½ cup sugar → classic, kid-friendly sweetness.
⅓ cup sugar → lighter version if you want less sweet (sprinkles will still add fun flavor).
Swap half for brown sugar or honey → chewier cookies with a warm caramel taste. 🍯
👉 Reflection Question: Which Codekeeper would YOU share your first courage cookie with — Jonah, Maya, Jax, Zoe, or Trevor? 💭
