My eldest son, thelilfoodkid asked us to make him brownies and cookies this weekend. Hmmm. Our aim as parents is to get out kids to eat well, enjoy food and learn to cook. we did not want to disappoint him so we decided to make lower fat brownies and full fat cookies.
He enjoyed helping measure the ingredients out, shout out the order we put them in, folding in the flour and licking the spoon that contained the melted chocolate.
We enjoyed the brownies and are looking forward to making the cookies.
