quick, Cheap and easy biscuit recipe for a 3yr old please

siegemode

Hi,

A friend who has a 3 yr old ( will be 4 at Xmas) has asked me to come up with some ideas and wants some help teaching her little one to cook. Although I love cooking I don't have any ideas for biscuits and have no kids so I'm a bit lost.

Does anyone have some ideas as the recipes need to be cheap and easy with not too much mess involved as their kitchen is small.

Thanks:)

321 cookies are super easy I make them with my toddler all the time
300g plain flour
200g butter/marg
100g sugar

mix together, roll into balls and flatten slightly and bake 180 approx 10 mins

you can add flavouring/choc chips if you want

Yep 321 biccies here too, can also add a good spot of ginger and roll out and use cookie cutters which is even more fun for the kiddies.

Cheers, mandco and bossymoo that's an easy one to remember.

This might sound silly, but do I rub in the fat and flour and then add sugar or cream the fat and sugar and then add the flour:o ?

Thanks:)
