Baking with Bhutanese
First Time Making Snickerdoodles!
Josh and I have befriended a few Bhutanese families that are here as refugees from Nepal. It’s been such a wonderful experience for us, to be able to help them settle into their new home, and introduce them to American culture. On another outing, we learned that they girls really liked snickerdoodles. What better way to introduce them to this simple, delicious cookie than to have them over to make some from scratch?
We snagged an easy recipe from Martha Stewart and started getting out necessary ingredients. My little sister Emily and my brother Jon (not pictured) joined us in the kitchen. It was a great opportunity to practice English, have and intro to baking, and make some treats to take home to share with the rest of their family.

The cookies were a success! The girls turned out to be wonderful bakers. While we were waiting for them to bake, we played a game of no-rules Scrabble. Another first for them, and they enjoyed it a lot!
