Keeping pre-schoolers busy

 

Keeping littlies busy can be a hard task, especially when they are tired from a busy morning at kindy. A big hit in our household is always baking.
Here is my delicious chocolate chippie recipe - modified from my own Grandma's, she was an awesome baker!

The girls help measure and pour the ingredients, push the buttons on the microwave and roll and flatten the cookies.

Dana's Chocolate Chip Cookies

225g Soft Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup White Sugar
1 Egg
1t Vanilla
1t Salt
2t Baking Powder
2 1/2 Cups of Flour
250g Chocolate chips/drops

Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius.

Cream together butter and sugars. Add egg, vanilla and salt and beat a little longer.
Mix in baking powder, flour and chocolate chips.
Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball, place on a lined tray. Flatten lightly with a fork.
Bake for 13 - 20 minutes. 13 minutes gives you a soft chewy cookie, 20 minutes gives you a dark golden crispy one.

For super-duper amazing-ness add 2T of cocoa with the flour. AAAMMMMAAAZZING!

Makes aprox. 28 cookies (minus the dough you eat first...)
