What could be better than a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie? How about a cookie your kids can actually make for themselves!<\/p>\n

Cooking is an important life skill<\/a> all kids should learn. Sometimes we have to look for creative ideas to get our children into the kitchen<\/a>. However, the minute I mention hot, delicious chocolate chip cookies the kids can’t get into the kitchen fast enough!<\/p>\n

We discovered this “cookie in a cup” idea a few weeks ago and our house has been filled with the amazing smell of warm cookies ever since. The best part – the kids have been able to make these delicious cookies all by themselves.<\/p>\n

Not only have my teens learned new cooking skills (such as how to separate egg yolks), but they have also become comfortable customizing recipes by adding different ingredients to suit their taste (in this case making substitutions for chocolate chips).<\/p>\n

It is time to invite your kids in the kitchen for this easy cooking activity that uses ingredients you already have in the pantry. Maybe they will even make a special cookie just for you!<\/p>\n
