"Lily, is there anything you want to bring to Ava's party?" Lily was very pleased with herself because she bought some nice gifts for Ava, and it only cost (2x2) + (3x4) which is the same as 4 + 12 or 16 dollars. So she got to keep the $4.00 in change.
"Mom, can I make ice cream sandwiches for the party?" Lily continued, "I have made them before and I can mix the recipe myself, but I will need your help to take the cookies out of the oven. I will clean up and I will put the sandwiches together all by myself." Lily thought her mom would let her do this if she promised to clean up and do a lot of it by herself.
Mom thoughtfully gave her consent. "Here is the recipe. It makes 12 cookies."
"That's good," Lily said, "because there will be 12 kids at the party, so I will have the right amount."
Here is the recipe from Tyler Florence of the Food Network for
My Big Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 (8-ounce) bag of chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
Place the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; cream together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and continue to mix until a smooth batter forms. Turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chunks using the spatula.
To form the cookies, scoop about 1/4 cup of cookie dough into your hands and roll it around into a ball; place them about 3-inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets; you should get about 4 cookies on each pan. Press down the tops of the dough slightly and bake until the cookies are light brown, 12 minutes for chewy cookies, or about 15 minutes for crispy cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough/cookie sheets.

Will Lily have enough cookies to make 12 ice cream sandwiches? What will she have to do to the recipe to make sure there are enough bottoms and tops for the sandwiches?

What about the card for $1 in the first episode?
ReplyDeleteNo, she won't have enough because she needs 24. She will have to double the recipe.
