4-H Members, Families, and Volunteers:
We hope everyone is having a wonderful new year and are staying warm and safe with this snow! The 4-H team and most of the Purdue Extension - Marion County office has been in and out of the office due to sickness, so please be patient with us responding to any emails you have sent.
Did you know that it matters what temperature you put your oven on to bake cookies? Is there a difference between using cold butter or soft butter in a recipe? Try following this Cookie Science recipe to learn how the ingredients in chocolate chip cookies work together to make a delicious, warm dessert!
WARM wishes!
Ashley Shufflebarger, Kody Orr, & Rachael Smith
