Keeping up with the new year’s promise here, to do more baking with my kids. All four pitched in for this simple butter cookie mix, which tasted quite delicious. A little more advanced for me than my usual, open the packet crack an egg and mix, but in reality, making it from scratch really wasn’t that taxing, and it meant less fighting over how to split my usual three steps between four kids -winning!
So anyway, here it is a tasty little biscuit mix inspired by my Summer, and if my kids can manage them under my guidance, then they can’t be too hard!
