What is it about baking that is so therapeutic? To me, it is oddly calming and so darn satisfying to find and follow a recipe, measure, stir, fold, let set and raise, bake, and create a delicious food that I can share with those I love – especially the grandkids! If you, too, enjoy cooking for your grandchildren, I invite you to check out these tried and true dessert recipes that are quick and easy to make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
This is a twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie, and my grandkids absolutely love it! Instead of having that standard cookie taste (although nothing is wrong with that!), the blondie adds a vanilla flavor that takes this treat to the next level. If you like, you can add other ingredients like nuts, coconut, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
