5 Star Foodie Junior: Everything-but-the-Kitchen-Sink Cookies

Welcome to the November edition of 5 Star Foodie Junior, a series of monthly posts that feature my daughter learning how to cook in the kitchen. This post features a special cookbook that we received for a review, Cookiepedia. This book has a terrific range of fun and delicious cookies. It's great for cooking projects with children and a nice resource for the holiday baking.

5 Star Foodie Junior:


Recently , we received a cookbook named Cookiepedia. This cookbook has many different cookie recipes. I really like looking through it and making lists of all the cookies I'd like to make with my mom.

This time, we chose the Everything-but-the-Kitchen-Sink Cookies. They were fun to make because we put all kinds of mix-ins from my Halloween candy pumpkin basket.

First, we creamed butter and white and brown sugars together.

Then, we mixed the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and added all the dry ingredients into the sugar and butter mixture.

The next part was my favorite and it was to add different mix-ins to the cookie dough. We added regular M & Ms, peanut M & Ms, pieces of Kit-Kat and Hershey bars, hazelnuts, pecans, maple crunch cereal, and sprinkles.

Then, we baked the cookies. These cookies were yummy and fun to eat, with different colors, and a mixture of sweet and salty flavors.
