Cooking Lessons


The kids love to cook but it takes an exercise of patience to engage in this activity. Inevitably, we create a mess along with cookies, brownies, cakes. It had been a long while since we cooked so when Umberto asked to make cookies, I had to say yes. After all it's an opportunity to learn about math and chemistry as well as following directions. So here's some pictures from our cookie making fun on Friday.




Camille and Umberto measuring out apple butter. This takes forever I might add but it's a good way to learn fractions.



Stirring the wet ingredients. This is a job I don't mind handing off to those who have more energy.



The final product. They were very tasty. We added mini chocolate chips which definitely adds to these cookies. They balance off the spicy flavor of the cardamom. Yum. The kids inhaled them so my plan to freeze them was thwarted. And as a note Piper normally does help but she was taking a much needed nap.
