I'll admit that I don't really like doing baking projects with both of the older children. Too many fights about who gets to do what, and it's just crazy-making to try to manage both of them and a recipe. But since Millie was out with Tom all day yesterday, Silas and I made a batch of peanut butter cookies. I hadn't made these in years.
He and I baked half the batch and gleefully ate them up. Then I froze the rest of the dough for some other evening.
Then today Millie had it in her head that we just had to make some coconut muffins. I don't recall ever making coconut muffins, but I just took an adaptable blueberry muffin recipe and substituted some unsweetened coconut for the blueberries, then we added sweetened coconut to the top of the muffins before baking.
I helped with the measuring, but otherwise Millie pretty much did everything else. And I love having a miniature muffin tin. Great for making kid-sized muffins.
