You will need:

Put a 1/2 cup of flour in a bowl, and put it in the microwave for about 2:30 minutes in 30 second intervals. That will heat treat the flour, so that you won't get sick. Now you melt half a stick of butter and add that into the flour. Then add a pinch of salt, and a pinch of baking no soda. Add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. After that add a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 a tablespoon of milk. Then mix everything together. If you want to, you can add some chocolate chips. I only had baking chocolate, so I cut it up into small pieces and added that to my cookie dough. This cookie dough is great to eat by the spoonful, but if you want to, you can roll them into balls. Now you're done!

Ingrerients:
- 3/4 cup of lemon juice (freshly squeezed or store bought)
- 6 cups of cold water
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- (optional) lemon zest

Mix all the ingredients together, then taste. This is a pretty simple recipe, but you can customize this recipe any way you want by adding more/less of the ingredients, or add some extra ingredients such as mint, berries, and peaches.

To make Hogwarts school supplies for your doll, you will need:
​ - Mini potion bottles (I got mine from Michaels)
​ - Things to fill the mini bottles up with (I used moss, salt, pearl sprinkles, olive oil, dish soap, etc.)
- a pack of feathers (preferably the small feathers)
- ink
​ - off white paper or tea stained paper
​First, you are going to put something in your mini bottles. (in the picture, I used moss)​

And now take your off white/yellowish paper, or tea stained paper (coffee works too), you are going to cut the paper into 4"/8" pieces.

Next, you are going to curl the edges a bit because it's a roll of parchment. I didn't curl mine all the way, because I wanted them to look like it was unrolled.

And now you're done!

To make Girl Scout cookies for your 18" doll you will need:
​ - Clay (I use CraZart's Modelite)
​ - Brown paint
 - a toothpick
​ - (optional) a printer and paper
​First, you are going to make a flat round circle about the size of a quarter and about half a centimeter thick.

Next, you are going to poke holes on top of it.

After you poke the holes, you can paint your cookie! make sure you get it the holes with your paint. I dipped a toothpick in paint and then put it in the holes.

When the paint dries, you can print out a 18" doll sized thin mint cookie box printable I found on pinterest here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/87327680248966119/

And you're done! Now your American Girl doll, or other 18" doll, can enjoy their delicious thin mint cookies!

And then you can paint your Peep! Use the end of your
paint brush for the eyes and nose.

And now your doll can enjoy a yummy bunny Peep! You
can also make a chick Peep with clay and it will be just
​as cute. I found a printable box for your doll's Peeps on Pinterest by Helena Sagara here: http://pin.it/F74LGyx

To make guacamole and chips for your doll you will
need:
- red and green craft foam
- glue
- green paint
- tan paper or card stock
- scissors
- a doll sized bowl

First, you cut the green craft foam into tiny squares.
​

And then add some glue and green paint.

Now, you can mix it until it looks like this.

If yours is more liquidy then you can add more peices of green craft foam. If yours is not like mine in the picture and is not as liquidy then add more paint or glue. After you are done with this, then you cut up peices of red craft foam and add a few on top to look like tomatos.

And to make the chips, you cut triangles out of you tan paper or card stock and crumble them up then unfold them to give them texture. If you want you can put some "guacamole" on some of the chips. And now you're done!

 I made up a super easy to make dog treat recipe that is good
​ for your dog! If your dog can not eat wheat flour, then you 
​ can substitute it for another flour.
​   You will need:
​  One cup of flour
  Two tablespoons of peanut butter
​  One cup of flour (I used wheat)
  One banana
​  (optional) shredded carrots
 Mix all the ingredients together and then bake at 350 degrees F.
 Please make sure you research the peanut butter you use,
​ because some peanut butters are bad for your dog.
