This week's recipe was submitted to us by 3 year old Abigail of Washington.
Abigail's Mom says, "Abigail makes these for her baby sister
(9 months old) whom can not eat pre-made baby cookies due to allergies. Abigail likes them so much she ends up eating most of them so we have to
make these every couple of days."

NOTE:
MomsMenu, FamilyCorner, and Crafty Cooking Kits are excited that your children enjoy being in the
kitchen. While it is a lot of fun to cook, it is also a big responsibility and caution should be exercised with certain recipes. Whenever
there is cooking involved, you will see the red "HOT" button on that particular recipe.
Should cutting or chopping be necessary, the
orange "SHARP" button will appear.
Parents, Please always supervise your children while in the kitchen, never leave your kids alone
while cooking, cutting, or handling food. Let’s keep the cooking experience happy and safe!

Let's Get Cooking!
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
