COVID-19 Information

People may be sick with the virus for 1 to 14 days before developing symptoms. The most common symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment.

More rarely, the disease can be serious and even fatal. Older people, and people with other medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), may be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES PERFECT FOR ST PATTYS DAY

Looking for a fun and sweet St Patricks day treat??? 

 Heres a twist to your normal chocolate chip cookie

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
• 1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp mint extract
• 3 drops blue coloring + 10-15 drops green coloring
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips*

1. Cream together sugar and butter. Add egg, sour cream and pudding mix.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt & baking soda.
3. Incorporate flour mixture into the pudding mixture and mix until well combined.  Add mint extract and food coloring until desired color is achieved.
4. Add in chocolate chips. *I used 3/4 cup chocolate chunks, 3/4 cup regular chocolate chips and 1/2 cup Andes baking bits. Any combination is wonderful, but note that while the Andes mint baking pieces add an incredible flavor, they kind of disappear in the cookies. So add them in addition to the 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, if you opt to put them in!
5. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto greased  cookie sheet.
6. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. 
7. Transfer to a  cooling rack and enjoy! 
8. Yields 3 dozen cookies.

ENJOY AND HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!!!
