Whatcha Making Wednesdays ..... Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies


This week in our K4 class, I had 4 of the girls all by myself (usually there are other mommies)... which made baking time a little tricky... especially when you add in a 2 year old who was not so interested in napping... but... we made it work and the girls made Nestle Tollhouse Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies... I had them pair up to work together...

Having the girls in pairs was actually a great way to practice team work...and... taking turns...
Smooshing in the butter and sugar...
Squishing in the eggs...
The finished cookies...

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or grated peel of 1 orange

  1. We've made the donuts several times because they're super easy! Once we did 1 T of lemon juice and 1 t of lemon zest with a vanilla glaze...and by adding 1 T cocoa made chocolate ones! Yum!

  4. Baking with a two year old in the house is always a challenge. It looks like the girls did great!
