Baking With Kids- Vanilla Cookies

Hey guys,

I have 4 younger siblings and I sometimes love to bake with them. But often recipes that I want to do are too complicated or just not very fun for them. But I have found a couple of recipes that you can recreate very easily at home. These vanilla biscuits have melted sweets on the inside which look super cute.

Ingredients: 

100g of butter
300g of caster sugar
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 eggs
500g of plain flour
2 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of cinammon
pinch of salt
a dash of milk
a handful of coloured hard boiled sweets

Method: 

1. Grease and line two baking trays with parchment. Cream the butter and the sugar together until pale and fluffy. Then add in the vanilla extract and the eggs, one by one. Beat in well. Then add in the plain flour, little by little so that the mixture doesn't split. Mix in the baking powder, cinnamon and a dash of milk.

2. Leave the dough to cool of an hour or so. Then preheat the oven to 190C and roll out the dough. Using different  shaped cutters cut out as many biscuits as you can and make a well in the center of each biscuit. Fill each well with some crushed biscuits and bake for 10 mins. Leave until completely cool before you move them.

This simple recipe can be adapted in many ways and it is still one of my favorites. Please tell me any other recipes that you would like to see.
