Chocolate Chip Cookie School is a fun, integrated learning curriculum designed for after / summer school, homeschool, adult school, un-school and anyone who loves great stories, intriguing history and cookies!
Printable PDF modules in the Chocolate Chip Cookie School bundle form a series but can stand alone, too. While the word “student” is used liberally, it’s fun reading and thinking for adults of all ages!
This bundle includes:
1. The 10,000 Year Old Cookie (approx 1-3 hours)

Many things that had to be invented, beyond the cookie ingredients, for the Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie to become a delicious and repeatable recipe. Students connect the dots!
3. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Revolution (approx 1 hour)
How did anything go “viral” before TV and the Internet? Students explore the exciting deals, legends, promotion and businesses that made the cookie an American classic!
4. Trader Joe’s Cookie Critical Thinking Challenge (approx 30 min.)
In a fun 30-minute exercise, students analyze and taste two similar yet very different chocolate chip cookies. It’s about $10 for cookies and adapt to gluten-free or other brands of cookies.
