For materials, you’ll nee:
On April 7, Kaylee is leading a baking activity! Here are the ingredients and equipment you’ll need from home. Please put your materials together in advance. Don’t have or don’t like chocolate chips? You could try oatmeal & raisins, or another dried fruit, instead!
Make sure you take your butter out of the fridge in the morning, so it’s soft for baking in the evening.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Materials: One mixing bowl, wisk, rubber spatula, access to oven, two spoons, 2 baking trays, measuring cup, measuring spoon, apron, cooling rack
Ingredients:
And here are the instructions for the cookies, which will be facilitated as a group:
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
Step 3
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
Note – because we’re using ovens, this would be a good activity to do with an adult at home, just to be on the safe side!
