Mommio: Cooking With Kids- Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

Earlier this week Max made our favorite field trip cookies, all by himself.  He loved this recipe because we quadrupled it and that meant he got to put in FOUR of everything, it's his favorite number.  He also loved the eating M&M's part!  First there was FOUR cups of sugar-

Then FOUR cups of peanut butter-

FOUR eggs, he is getting really good at cracking eggs!

Next, FOUR teaspoons of vanilla-

Stir it up, he did it FOUR times and then I did it about 100 more-

Add FOUR cups of M&Ms, and eat a few-

Finally, give them another mix and drop them by teaspoons onto an ungreased pan. 

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. 

We all love these cookies!  Max made about 100 of them, which sounds like a lot but with ten people plus friends eating them two at a time they don't last very long.  The really great thing about these is that you can freeze them and keep some ready for the next field trip- this time we ate them all!  Max loves cooking and he is getting so good at it that I think pretty soon he will be making meals for us.
