I found this a really fun challenge for me and my class to try and complete today! Why? Because you could finally make something that would be 1. Fun to make and 2. Delicious :). The thing that I had made for this challenge was chocolate chip cookies using a recipe from Edmonds cooking book. The ingredients I used for baking this was - 125g Butter (Softened), 1/4 Cup Sugar, 3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk, a few drops of vanilla essence, 1 1/2 Cups Plain Flour,  1 Tsp Baking Powder, 1/2 Cup Chocolate chips. The process of this was kinda confusing but I did catch on!, and yes my family said that they loved the cookies!

Acts Of Kindness

 -Picture of my act.

In this Picture it shows my mother eating an omelette that I had made for her. How may this be an act of kindness you may ask? It's an act of kindness by how I made it just for her, I decided to make it also for my mum is a full-time teacher and it must be hard for her to cope with doing online work while also taking care of her whole family! :) I also decided to make this for my mum so it could make her not feel as frustrated since she has to take care of online learning (because of level 4)
