Making Cookies

(This time of year is fun to make and decorate cookies, cupcakes, or whatever you like!)

Materials :

  • Ingredients for cookies
  • Pre-made Sugar cookies (if you are going to have the children just decorate them)
  • Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Apron
  • Pan
  • Frosting
  • Sprinkles & other decorations

Directions:

  • Have child help you make the cookies (I personally love the Betty Crocker packaged cookie mix; it is easy to do with kids because all you have to add is an egg & butter)
  • They can pour ingredients, stir, and even crack an egg (if you're brave!)
  • Talk with them about what a recipe is & how to follow the directions. Tell them what & how much of the ingredients you are supposed to put in the bowl (this is good practice with counting, fractions, measuring, etc.).
  • If you are just having them decorate cookies make the cookies ahead of time and set out plenty of frosting & decorations for them to use.
