Cooking Kids

Well the kids had a blast at this month’s cooking club. Our theme was Christmas Treats. The kids made reindeer food to take home, which is simply oatmeal and sprinkles. My daughter really loved spreading the food out on Christmas Eve. She was so excited that Rudolph would come and eat her food. They also made christmas mice. These turned out so cute, and the recipe is very simple. Then they made pressed peanut butter cookies and sugar plum dreams. The recipes follow:

Christmas Mice

1 container of chocolate icing

1 to 2 cups of flour

slivered almonds

Red sprinkle dots

Mini chocolate chips

A small plate of cocoa powder or crushed chocolate cookies

Mix the frosting and flour until the frosting is more like a dough. Chill overnight. Take a small amount of frosting and roll it into a ball, stretching out one end so it looks more like a mouse. Really you should roll it into an oval, but kids have a hard time with that. Roll the mouse into the cocoa. Use the slivered almonds for ears, the chocolate chip for a tail and the red sprinkles for eyes.

Sugar Plum Dreams

1 bag of large marshmallows

Melted white chocolate

Sprinkles

Wafer Roll cookies

Break a wafer roll cookie in half and stick them into 2 large marshmallows. Roll the marshmallow into melted white chocolate and sprinkle with sprinkles. Let set and enjoy!
