The 4 and 7 year old kids did an experiment tonight. Apparently they do this quite frequently, but i've never actually witnessed it. The gist is this- they request certain ingredients, mix them all together, dump the product on a cookie sheet, and cook it for a bit. Surprisingly, they usually come up with a halfway decent result. Here's what they put in tonight: (and all measurements are approximate since they did this themselves.)
2 eggs
1 T melted butter
2/3 cup milk
1 t vanilla
2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 t baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
We greased the cookie sheet, stretched the dough out, and cooked it at 350 for about 25 mins. It was interesting- kind of a mix between dense bread and a cookie. Pretty tasty, actually. I guess they came up with something once that was a lot better, and tasted like cinnamon bread. It cracks me up that these two little kids pay enough attention to their mom that they can round up a sensible list of ingredients by themselves, and use reasonable measurements. Maybe we should start keeping track of their recipes, and put a book out with the best stuff. It could be a real money maker!
