I don't know what it is but there are some smells that bring back fond memories and one of them is the whiff of a freshly baked cookie. I feel glad and think I was taken to a heaven-like place whenever I get a whiff on the sweet distinctive smell of a cookie although I do not have an intense desire on any sweet stuff or chocolates. All I am aspiring is to have the cookie with a cup of my favorite coffee and take it to a very peaceful place like heaven and enjoy it on my own. Not only eating these freshly baked cookies that would make it an exciting and enjoyable but the mere fact of baking it, adds up for satisfaction.It absolutely creates harmony and joy with your kids doing the cookie baking with them thereby reminisces your childhood days of baking experience either. Those happy moments with my grandma while mixing all the cookie ingredients and shaping it into the tray for baking are my childhood memories which I always treasure. I felt so special when she let me lick the mixing bowl clean of the cookie mixture too! How could I forget when she ask me to take a lick on the last spot of the cookie mixture on the mixing bowl!I could still remember when she allow me to lick on the last drop of the cookie mixture on the mixing bowl too! Anyway, my daughter was only four years then when I started allowing her to join me in baking cookies which was also her first experience doing it.We really had fun and had a great time baking although mixing it is quite messy but the cookies turn out to be good afterall.

Moreover, I would highly recommend to those families to try baking some cookies, and rest assured you'll gonna experience great fun and quality time to your kids too. You don't have to be a wonderful cook; in fact you can buy cookie mixes that you just have to add water to so you have more chance of baking great cookies. It does not follow that you must be excellent in baking but you may however buy an instant cookie mixture to your nearby stores and enjoy its awesome feeling that would give your entire family. You still have the option of getting the cookie dough, but it is the process of making the mixture that is more enjoyable to do especially with your kids.Making it into different shapes and decorating those cookies are another exciting things that would be appreciated by your kids. These cookies could also be presented by your kids as gifts or even sell it especially it is a homemade one.Being a homemade cookie, this might be well appreciated by your friends and relatives especially made by your grandchild during special occasions wherein you can be proud of rather than buying one that is bought outside

Everyone likes cookies: kids, parents, grandparents, friends, and the list could go on. There is just nothing much better than warm cookies right out of the oven to kids of all ages. Making your kids exposed in kitchen activities would somehow be educational with them even at an early age. Even the little ones are so impressed by cookies "they made themselves" even though they may have only stirred the dough, added an ingredient, or sprinkled on some colored sugar decorations. Now, homemade cookies are excellent for all kinds of occasions even sharing these as simple gifts to your teachers, friends and relatives or simply to show your utmost love and care to your mom and dad even without occasions.
