To do this I infused fresh mint into the butter that I would use to make the cookies. This would add a subtle hint of mint instead of an overpowering flavor. Make sure that before you use it to let it cool for at least 30 minutes. To begin always preheat the oven first. This recipe is a standard base for any cookie. If you wanted to make them chocolate instead, you’d take out the brown sugar and add cocoa powder instead. But for this recipe, I did not add anything. Next, you’ll want to combine the sugars and butter together beating with a mixer on high speed. If the sugar and butter mixture is not light and fluffy add the vanilla and eggs and keep mixing on high speed. It should become light and fluffy by then. In a separate bowl add all dry ingredients together. Slowly fold in dry ingredients w...

By Jaden Schiffhauer Photo by Jaden Schiffhauer On March 15 in 2019, students all around the world left their classrooms to show their growing concern over climate change and the environment.

By Sarah Happel As a high school student, I should be focusing on academics, but instead, climate change is on my mind. This crisis could end in permanent damage to our planet, and my generation is the one that will have to deal with the consequences. The ice is melting, sea levels are rising, and some animal populations are rapidly decreasing. We need to do more to take care of our planet, not only for us, but for our home as well. In a survey conducted by Pew Research Center of adults in the United States, it was found that about six out of every ten people’s communities are affected by climate change. Earth is nearing its tipping point, and I’m worried that most people won't be willing to reverse the damage done to the planet until it’s too late. Not only am I scared for my own well-being, I am scared on behalf of my entire generation and generations to come. “We are getting close to the point of no return,” Scarlett Slick, a Lincoln High School freshman said.
