🍪 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

  1. 🧈 Mix butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla — stir with heart! ❤️

  2. 🍪 Add flour, mix into dough. Shape into compass or lion shapes (for Jonah and Leo).

  3. 🌈 Add sprinkles. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes.

  4. 🎉 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? 💭
