Are you looking for an fun Valentine’s Day activity to do with your kids?  These cookies are so easy to make, you don’t have to worry about overmixing or doing things carefully.  Make these cookies and when they’re done, you can do this free Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt.  Cupid will come and “steal” their treats and they can chase him around your house trying to get them back!  

I made these treats with my boys and they had so much fun!

Here’s my older son Jack turning on the oven.  We are currently homeschooling, so I try to get creative in incorporating reading and numbers into our day.  I tell him to find the button with B-A-K-E on it, then hit 3, 5 and and 0, and then hit the S-T-A-R-T button.  (He also knows that he is not allowed to turn on the oven without a grown up present!)

 

 

Here’s Jack and Henry getting the mixer ready to use.  I let them play with it before we plug it in.  They like snapping the bowl in and raising and lowering the bowl.  

 

 

Here they are using scissors to cut open the bag of cake mix and add it to the bowl.  (You can totally make these without a mixer!  A mixing bowl and whisk/spatula works fine!)

 

Here’s the cookies while we were rolling them in spinkles

 

And here’s what they look like after they’ve come out of the oven and are on a cooling rack!  

 

 

Now enjoy!  (I know we all enjoyed them here!) 

Hope you have as much fun making these as we did!

Stay savvy,
