My son was helping me with ideas for our next post. We just got book orders in from school and he's insisting that we write about one of his new books. In honor of the book, we decided to write this post for you . . . and then bake our own cookies.
First, you need a recipe. If you don't have a traditional cook book, there are countless recipes on the Kraft web page. It's my favorite place to find recipe's that are not in my cook book. Just type what you're looking for in the search and off you go.
Next you'll need to make sure you have all the ingredients out and ready. Then get the kids in the kitchen. Help them follow the recipe, add ingredients, stir, and dish out cookies onto the sheet. It makes them feel good to do it themselves. Plus, it's a great chance for you to spend time together. It also gives you an opportunity to practice communicating and following directions. Once the cookies are on t he cookie sheet, it's time for my kids' favorite part - cleaning out the bowl. (You know how they like cookie dough!) Then we set our timer and wait.
Once the cookies are cooled, it's snack time. Enjoy! I know we will.
