A Season of Inspiration

Season of Inspiration

Enjoy your time with family and friends this season by indulging in some sweet treats.

Here is one of President Megahed’s favorites to savor and share.

CHEWY SUGAR COOKIES Ingredients 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 cups margarine

Prep 10 min

Cook 15 min Ready 25 min

2 cups white sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 cup white sugar for decoration

Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just blended. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls and roll the balls in remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets and flatten slightly.

3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned at the edges.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

During this time of reflection and goodwill, it is important to acknowledge those who enrich the lives of our students every day.

Thank You and Happy Holidays President Nivine Megahed and the National Louis Family
