Treats to make with kid??

Question

My little brother is 11 years old, and he always wants to make food with me. I got into cooking and baking when i was 10, and i loved it. It followed throughout the years where i could not be separated from cooking from scratch. I never did become a chef, but i like to do it for fun still. Everyone is surprised i did not become a chef, but that's because i can still do it at home. I want to make something like a cake, brownie, cookie, or something like that with my little brother. i promised i will do it tomorrow, when i am there. He has been looking forward to this, but i still have no clue what to make. Any ideas. Something fun and creative. =) Any recipes.

Answer 9

Make a fruit pizza.  Your brother can definitely help with all the steps.  Plus, it's so colorful & healthy too.  My kids love this recipe:  



Pizza Dough:

1 package store bought sugar cookie dough



Toppings:

8 ounces softened cream cheese

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 large peach, sliced

1 large green apple, sliced

1 large orange, sectioned

1/2 pint fresh strawberries, sliced

6 ounces fresh blueberries

6 ounces fresh raspberries

1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted

1/2 cup chocolate syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.



Flatten cookie dough onto a 6-inch pizza pan. Bake until firm to touch, about 11 to 15 minutes. Cool. In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar. Spread the baked cookie with the cream cheese mixture and decorate with sliced fruit. In a small bowl, combine melted white chocolate with chocolate syrup. Top the pizza with remaining berries and chocolate mixture. Slice and serve immediately.



  Recipe Summary

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 8 servings

Sometimes I make my own sugar cookie recipe.  I also have skipped the chocolate part & heated a couple of tablespoons of apricot jam with a little water.  Brush the fruit with the resulting syrup to give it a shiny look.
