Want to have a little kitchen fun with your family? If you're looking for the best cookies to bake with kids using simple ingredients already in your pantry, these are the perfect recipes for you.
Little Pea and I have started "Mommy & Me Mornings" as a special way to spend time together while Big Sister is at school.
Our first special activity together involved a one-on-one baking session. It was a very spur of the moment thing and I was tied to whatever we had on hand in the pantry.
Thankfully cookies are pretty basic and it isn't too big of a stretch to be sure you have everything ready when the mood strikes. Today I thought it would be fun to share my favorite "I haven't been to the grocery store in ages, what can I make with what I've got?" style baking recipes.
Little Pea approves:
Over the years, these have been some of our family's all-time favorite cookies to bake with the kids because they use simple ingredients and don't take much time to prepare or bake.
I almost always have every last ingredient for my husband's favorite cookie on hand in my pantry. The kids and I love baking these and keeping them in the freezer, they are so delicious ice cold and crispy.
This one bowl cookie is always a hit with kid bakers. Soft and fluffy, the batch doesn't make too many cookies and they always disappear in a flash. Definitely add them to your fall baking list.
Kids love to help form these peanut butter cookie sandwiches with that rich and fluffy peanut butter filling. Don't want a full sandwich? The cookies are perfect all on their own, too.
This is a classic cookie for a reason -- they are so easy to bake with kids and the little ones just LOVE to dot the baked cookies with those sweet Hershey's kisses.
My daughter was able to bake this recipe all by herself recently. It's the perfect introduction to baking crinkle cookies with kids. They have a little heat, but aren't too spicy.
If you don't want to mess around with drop cookies and baking several sheets worth of treats, this 9 x 13 Oreo cookie bar recipe is always fun to bake with kids. The ingredients are very simple and it's a one-and-done baking session.
Perhaps not technically a "cookie", kids still love to make this classic saltine cracker toffee. Spreading the melting chocolate chips over the top is my daughter's favorite part.
Perfect for kids who love to get their hands right in there when baking. Little helpers will love rolling the cookie balls for these Oreo truffles.
The rest of our family's favorite cookies can be found right inside this fantastic baking book for kids. You'll find cookies for every holiday and season of the year that your kids will love to bake on their own.
If you're looking for a recipe that involves a little more work or time or you're baking with older kids, this is one of our very favorites.
This classic Christmas cookie makes a HUGE batch but freezes so very well. I highly recommend making the gingerbread cookie dough in the summertime and freezing it in 3 smaller portions for easy baking with the kids when the holiday season arrives.
