Oatmeal Cookies with Kids

My kids love to eat these oatmeal cookies and they love to help with them too. There are lots of ways my kids help in the kitchen. Find a step stool and let the quality time begin.

First have the kids help you get out all the ingredients: sugar, coco, butter or margarine, milk, peanut butter, vanilla flavoring, and instant oatmeal. You will also need a cup for dry ingredients and a half cup for wet. I always use a half cup  for the milk and peanut butter. I use a full cup for the sugar and oatmeal.

I recently tried using a black walnut flavoring instead of the vanilla and really liked it as well.

It makes a special breakfast treat as well.
