Old Fashion Homemade Chunky Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Enjoyment from Baking Cookies

I don’t know what it is, but some smells that bring back fond memories, and one of them is the scent of a freshly baked cookie. I don’t have a sweet tooth and can actually survive without cakes or chocolates. Once I am hit by the smell of a cookie, I am taken back to wonderful memories.

It isn’t just eating a cookie that comes straight out of the oven that is enjoyable but making them can be very satisfying. Cookie baking can be a lot of fun if you have smaller kids, and that is where some of my earliest baking memories come from.

Making Memories while Baking

It was enjoyable helping my grandma mix all the cookie ingredients together and putting them on the cookie sheet before baking them. Having that time with my Grandma was special. Then she let me eat the bowl clean of the leftover dough!

The first time I offered my daughter to help me bake some cookies, she was about three years old. Her little face turned into the biggest smile. Although the counters became a mess. We really had a terrific time with one another. The cookies were delicious, by the way.

Do you have kids in your family? Then why not give baking cookies a try? You don’t have to be an excellent baker. You can purchase cookie mixes that you just have to add water to so you have more chance of baking great cookies. You could always buy some cookie dough, but I think the making process is the best part!

You can make different shapes of cookies. Then decorate them afterward. Whether it is Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's, or Easter. Most kids love to make their own creations. Homemade cookies also make great gifts. Especially when your kids helped make them. A cookie that was decorated by a child for any occasion is bound to be enjoyed far more than a store-bought one.
