Cookshop Kids: Fall 2023 recipes

Hello Cookshop families! I’m so glad to have your kids in our fall session of the after school program. Each week we’ll be posting our recipes, notes and hopefully some photos from class.

WEEK 1

We started off the first week with a really fun recipe that lets each group practice their dry ingredient measuring skills, try their hand at cracking eggs, and work as a group to decide what “mix-ins” they would add to their batch of cookies. Find the recipe for Monster Cookies below!

WEEK

For week two, we went over “sharp things safety” (not just knives!) and started using knives and box graters to cut up veggies for salsa and guacamole, plus shredding cheese for our mini nachos! We didn’t follow recipes this week, but instead talked about what typically goes into salsa and guacamole, and let the kids taste as they went to arrive at a properly seasoned product. Our fresh tomato salsa had onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lime, salt (or salt substitute) and some groups added diced sweet peppers. Guacamole had avacados, lime, cilantro and seasoning.

WEEK 3

We went back to a sweet item in week three with apple cinnamon muffins! The kids again got to practice safe knife skills, used peelers, and measured out ingredients. Hopefully a muffin made it home and was shared with you! These muffins turned out pretty good, but please note that the recipe had a very dry batter, and most groups added some extra milk to get a proper consistency.
