Today's recipe is by Miss Love herself. The day after her 5th Birthday she announced that she wanted to make Her Own Recipe. The first attempt was a cross between a crepe and a muffin. It was not bad. Then Friday she announced she wanted to make "Snow Flake Treats." The result this time was more like a chocolate chip lemon bar (without the lemon).
Super sweet, and super yummy.
Her Own Recipe
In 1st bowl:
2 cups of flour
1 cup sugar
1 egg
In 2nd bowl:
1 cup sugar
4 T butter (melted)
Then combine them together and add 1/2 c. chocolate chips
Fill greased cupcake pan 2/3 full, bake at 350* for about 15 min or until golden.
Then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
I mentioned these were sweet didn't I?
But Miss Love has been so proud of her treats. She wanted to call her Grandma and tell all about them, and tonight we delivered some to her friends, so that they could try some, too.
Her "recipe" experiments may seem like a waste of ingredients and money to some people, but I would rather her test her independence with a measuring cup in the safety of my kitchen, then to want to rebel, because her mommy is always telling her what to do.
Also, I like to see the way she has learned about different ingredients from recipes that we have done together. She is starting to get a feel for what flavors go good together.

I'm leaving a comment only to share one of my first cooking experiments when I was around Ms. Love's age...I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies. I actually think my parents were napping (must had been a Sabbath afternoon) and I went about making my cookies. I used our toaster oven and was so proud of my creation. Which my mom said tasted like chocolate chip scrambled eggs since I used too many eggs and not enough flour. Oh well, it didn't discouraged me from cooking and I don't think I was much of a rebel! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe already own that Veggie Tale DVD so I'm not looking to win...just wanted to share my story! ;-)
