This social distancing thing is tough, and it’s even tougher when you add kids to the mix. If you’re looking for ways to entertain yourself and the rest of the family, take a look through these delicious, kid-friendly recipes. We promise there’s something for everyone, and the recipes are easy enough for your little ones to help out with. In fact, we bet they’ll be mastering the basics of baking in no time with some of our added #BetterYourBake tips.
Who doesn’t love cookies? If your little ones haven’t helped you make cookies before, gather them to watch this video on how to roll cookie dough. Then, try these two cookie recipes that taste just as good as they look: Frosted Animal Cookies and classic Chocolate Chip Cookies.
These Baked Vanilla Donuts with Mocha Glaze are fun to make and even more fun to eat. Your kids can also get creative with decorating the donuts by topping them with fruit, chocolate chips, sprinkles or nuts. If you haven’t made donuts at home before, be sure to watch this video alongside your little bakers that demonstrates how to prep and use a baking mold.
Sure, cupcakes are great, but we think cupcakes in ice cream cones are even better! For a whimsical, unique dessert, make these Rose Water Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes. You can also teach them how to pipe the frosting into the cake cones with a homemade pastry bag.
If you’re at home with some mini Picassos, try baking our Vanilla Almond Splatter Cake. Start off the lesson by watching a video together on how to separate and whisk egg whites. When it’s time to decorate, have your kids pick their favorite colors, and stand back to watch the art session unfold.
If you’re looking for a classic pick-me-up, try our Hazelnut Latte Puppy Chow. This recipe is no-bake and comes together quickly. It’s perfect for little ones who have just enough patience to melt chocolate and want to help stir this recipe to completion.
Our Vanilla Tahini Rice Crispy Treats are crowd-pleasing with an elevated, nutty twist. Start off your day by teaching your aspiring chefs how to combine the ingredients. Then place in the fridge for several hours to firm, keeping your kids on their toes for the final, tasty results.
