Energetic Toddler.

[Maegie]

Hi all, I have a 3 Yr old son who is very energetic. He helps me bake cookies and cakes every now and then. My big issue is he won't actually help, he just throws everything everywhere the flour goes into a big cloud in my kitchen and my choc chips dissappear (he eats them).

Is there any easy and minimal recipes for cookies or fairy cakes something like that. Thank you

Hi!
It seems to me that the main thing now is to teach your child how to handle products accurately. Perhaps he gets tired quickly and loses concentration, so you should cook the simplest recipes or do some of the work yourself before the child starts to help you. You need to help him focus on his actions and behave calmly so that he is not nervous or in a hurry. If you need to measure the amount of flour, then use special devices. Explain to your child every step, be like a radio
And for a child, cooking with you is a way to develop and bond with you, he does not need to get the most delicious cookies in the world, although you can quietly help him while he is small. Good luck!

For an easy recipe that’s less messy, try no-bake peanut butter oatmeal cookies. Just mix 1 cup peanut butter and 1 cup honey in a pan then stir in 2 cups oats and some chocolate chips if you like. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper and let them set. It’s quick, simple, and less likely to turn your kitchen into a flour cloud! Enjoy baking with your little one!

They can't sit still and focus if they have gobs of adrenalin, get them outdoors and tire them out, then they can relax and focus.
