Soft Chewy Ginger cookies made by our Jr.Chefs

Our momstown Calgary kids love to get in the kitchen with us at our Jr Chef program. This month we made Soft Chewy Ginger Snap cookies. Michelle, the owner at Epicurious Kids allowed us  to use the kitchen at Epicurious Kids Cookery , our junior chefs had a great time measuring, mixing, rolling and taste testing the cookies!  The space was amazing, steps for the kids who couldn't reach the prepping counters, a carpeted area for us to craft while we waited for the cookies to bake and even a table area to sit and enjoy the treats we baked.




Thank you to Kim Hayden for her delicious recipe,  it is my go -to comfort cookie recipe! The cookies stay soft and chewy ... the best fresh from the oven!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup butter/margarine
