I strongly encourage it and I really think they can learn so much. Obviously, they learn about cooking or baking and they might learn a bit about the dish they&#8217;re making, but they also learn a lot about fractions when we double of halve a recipe and they learn a little baking chemistry as well!

In the meantime, I&#8217;ll assault them with information as we bake. I&#8217;ve also noticed that random questions about life pop up when we&#8217;re all relaxed and enjoying each other&#8217;s company in the kitchen &#8211; and that&#8217;s always a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>All of the kids love to be in the kitchen. Wee One #2 likes big bakes mostly, like cakes and pies and breads. Wee One #1 likes to cook more than he likes to bake. Wee One #3 though, she shares my affinity for small, quick batch baking. Cookies, cupcakes, muffins, and the like. &#8216;Teatime Treats&#8217; is usually the chapter of baking books she gravitates towards. When I announced that I wanted to bake up some cookies, she was my first volunteer and this video is the result.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fMKr9ssbDTk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>I have tried other chocolate chip cookie recipes, but my Granny&#8217;s is just always, always better!<\/p>\n<p>This is her recipe:<\/p>\n<p>2 1\/4 cups all-purpose flour<br \/>\n1 teaspoon baking soda<br \/>\n1 teaspoon salt<br \/>\n1 cup butter or margarine, softened<br \/>\n3\/4 cup granulated sugar<br \/>\n3\/4 cup packed brown sugar<br \/>\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br \/>\n2 large egg<br \/>\n1 cup chocolate chips<\/p>\n<p>Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you know how I feel about children in the kitchen.
