Keeping Kids Busy: Baking Chocolate Chip Cookies

To be honest I don't always let my kids help out in the kitchen. Doing things on my own is so much more productive and less messier. But when it comes to baking chocolate chip cookies, my kids always help.  It doesn't take long to make, it only has few ingredients and you can never messed it  up. We bake chocolate chip cookies at least once a week. Homemade cookies are not only easy to make but taste so much better than store bought cookies. The best part, you can use organic or nonGMO ingredients.
