Sugar cookies
Makes about 2 dozen cookies | Time: 1- 2 hrs | Recipe cred.: The back of a Pure Cane sugar bag

Ingredients:

 * 16 tablespoons(2 sticks) butter, softened(Or half-melted if you want little circles)
 * 1.5(1 1/2) cup sugar(Any kind of GRANULATED sugar)
 * 2.75(2 3/4)cup ALL-PURPOSE Flour
 * 1 egg, any size
 * 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
 * 1 teaspoon baking soda
 * 1/4 teaspoon salt
 * 1/2 Vanilla Extract
 * Extra cinnamon/sugar/pumpkin spice/other sweet spices if you so wish.

Instructions:

 * 1) In a small mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
 * 2) In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar and the butter using an electric mixer or hand mixer until fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
 * 3) Add in the flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time until it forms into batter.
 * 4) Set the oven to 375 fahrenheit(about 190.7 celcius) and get out UNGREASED baking sheets.
 * 5) Scoop out about a tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheets in the general shape of balls. This would also be the time to drench the balls into sugar or any other sweet spices you want.
 * 6) Put the baking sheets into the oven for 9-11 minutes**, spinning them halfway through baking.
 * 7) Take them out, and let them cool. Enjoy!

* 9 minutes is recommended. 10 minutes overbakes them, and 11 minutes makes them unsalvagable.

These cookies are great when you pop them into your mouth right out of the oven. Great to calm down, as well.

Hot Cocoa
Makes 1 cup of cocoa | Time: 2-5 minutes | Recipe credit: Hershey's

Ingredients:

 * 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
 * 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
 * a small amount, 2-3 shakes, of ground cinnamon (completely optional, just gives it a nice flavor!)
 * 1 cup milk
 * 1/4-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
 * Toppings (optional, but recommended :))

Instructions:

 * 1) Mix cocoa powder, sugar, and optionally, ground cinnamon, in your preferred mug/cup.
 * 2) Measure 1 cup of milk in a measuring cup, and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute (heating times vary between microwave wattage, etc) or until desired heat. Make sure not to overheat your milk and curdle it. I like to take it out every 15-20 seconds to make sure it doesn't get too hot.
 * 3) Slowly mix the warmed milk into the cocoa mix, stirring as you pour. I have found that whisking the cocoa as you pour helps the hot cocoa to not be as clumpy.
 * 4) Add the vanilla extract and stir in well.
 * 5) Add toppings, like whipped cream, marshmallows, candy canes, cinnamon, and whatever you like!
 * 6) Enjoy!

Note: if your hot cocoa gets cold before you've drank it all, it's best to try and take your toppings out (which is hard if you have marshmallows or whipped cream, I understand), and reheat it for 20-30 seconds, or until it reaches a comfortable drinking temperature.

1 handful of chocolate chips

1 large cup and a spoon

Directions


 * 1) Mix the Cream soda and root beer in your cup. No need to be fancy about how you mix it, just pour them in.
 * 2) Drop in one scoop of ice cream. Wait for it to foam.
 * 3) If there is enough space for a second scoop, go ahead (keep in mind the foam will expand with the second scoop)
