Chocolate Chip Cookie School is a book too…

For anyone 10+, the book leads readers on a fun journey starting with the question: How did the chocolate chip cookie come to be? through a project-based “start a cookie business or bakesale” chapter.

• In Part 1, readers LEARN cookie history, exploring each chocolate chip cookie ingredient as Cookie Detectives. Topics and challenges span history, idioms, inventions, baking science, food system changes, social science facts and even product design.
• In Part 2, readers have the chance to MAKE cookie history as Cookie Entrepreneurs. Assignments include finding a customer, researching what’s behind cookie brands, then planning a bake sale or cookie business as a project-based team (or solo) activity.

Book Benefits:

Kids discover how school comes in handy in the real world and how strong character skills can lead to amazing results — like inventing the most popular cookie in America. There’s no limit to what our beloved cookie can teach!

It’s interesting for adults too, all the way through seniors. I never thought the chocolate chip cookie would be a gateway to all the universe’s secrets. But it is! Well, maybe not all. But it’s SO thought-provoking and interesting.

The book is full of original illustrations and formatted as 8 1/2 x 11, for easy writing and to inspire creativity.
