Ask my children and they will tell you this – mom does not know how to bake. At least not very well and it is probably because I don’t enjoy it. I know some people bake for the sheer pleasure they derive from it and others to keep their hands busy. My husband doesn’t really fall into either of these categories, but he is a great baker and chef, to boot! He will just up and decide he is going to make something, like these amazing Molasses Cookies and he is off to the races. Well, the store anyway. 🙂
Despite not liking to bake (or cook, for that matter,) I would like my kiddos to have some appreciation for the craftsmanship involved in creating edible works of art and what better way to do that than to start them off with a recipe or two for cookies! The following fifteen recipes are all great for children to practice their baking skills on and then munch on afterward. Check them out!
