Would you like a great activity with which to have fun with your kids? How would you like to make someone feel special and make them smile with the help of your kids? Maybe you could make some gifts together for some loved ones? You could make grandma’s or grandapa’s day much brighter, wish a great aunt or uncle a happy birthday or maybe even show you child’s teacher how important they are.
So what would be some great homemade gifts that you and your kids could make together?
Cakes and cupcakes are easy to make and best of all allow for kids to design creative decorations, but today we’ll focus on cookies, specifically the kind that don’t require baking: no bake cookies. There is a big variety of ingredients you could use such as chocolate, peanut butter, oats, etc. One of my favorite no bake cookies is chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies. You can’t beat that combination! In fact, the thought of it makes me yearn for a big bowl of vanilla ice cream mixed with peanut butter and topped with chocolate syrup. Yum! That actually gives me an idea for another great easy recipe for kids to write about in the future.
The directions for making chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies are easy and there are only a few ingredients involved. The kids can help you measure the ingredients, mix them and drop the mix onto the baking sheet. They’ll feel like pastry chefs!
Refrigerate the cookies in a plastic container and place the cookies between sheets of wax paper. Before delivery put the cookies in a decorative tin box along with a creative gift message inside. Have your son bring a smile to grandma’s face with a box of these decadent cookies topped with a ribbon tied around it and a message inside like, “Hope your heart is filled with joy today just like this tin is filled with these delicious cookies I made for you. I miss you Grandma!” Your daughter could deliver a gift wrapped tin box to her third grade teacher with a message such as, “You’ve helped me get good grades. Maybe these cookies will earn a good grade on taste. Thank you Mrs. Carter for all your help.”
You and the kids will have fun and Mrs. Carter and grandma will have tears of joy. Chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies make great grandparents gifts, teacher gifts, birthday gifts, thank you gifts and more. Enjoy the quality time that you will spend with your kids. They’ll love making someone happy.
