One of the many things we like about the girls' school is that they offer after school activities. Each semester a different list of activities comes out, and they can choose what they would like to do for an hour after school each day. The best part is.......an activity bus brings them home afterward!
This semester, Kaylee decided not to do an activity on Tuesdays, so she comes home an hour earlier than the other girls. Now Tuesdays from 3:15-4:15 will be Mommy and Kaylee Time....and maybe Whitney too...if she isn't napping!
Today, we made oatmeal raisin cookies(we call them "The 1MT Cookies" because she made them last year in Grade 1).
These are a family favorite, and we make them A LOT....This was the 3rd batch in just a few days. We made one over the weekend, and needed one for Girl Scouts snacks yesterday.
There are many ingredients, so when we make them all together each girl has a few turns of adding and mixing.
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup syrup
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups oats
1 1/2 cups raisins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F(180 degrees C)
Grease cookie trays
Combine oil, syrup, milk, brown sugar, vanilla and beat
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices
Mix
Fold in oats and raisins
Roll walnut-sized balls and press down on the cookie sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes
Chef K was able to do everything since our littlest buddy slept through the whole thing!
During the baking, she had her after school snack...apple with Nutella and salami....while watching The Food Network!!
They are yummy and healthy!!!!
Next Tuesday, we are doing Rice Krispie treats.
Tomorrow after school, Macy is going to help me make the pumpkin soup I helped her class make last week. Looking forward to soup for dinner and cookies for dessert!
Life is Good when baking with Kaylee!!
