I am all about making homemade snacks for the kids, especially when I get them involved in helping me bake them. They love being in the kitchen and love helping me. So I am always asking them for ideas of things to make, whether it’s a cookie or muffin or flavor. I love getting them involved. Spending that time with them is so important and lots of life lessons can happen in the kitchen.

A few tips about baking with kids. Premeasure the ingredients. This is a huge time saver and one I regretted not doing earlier in my baking career. Put the ingredients in order. This helps the kids with what is going next and also reading the recipe. Learning the difference between ingredients,  sugar and salt and how it effects a recipe is important in baking.

This recipe is pretty straight forward. You start by mixing the melted butter with the sugar and brown sugar. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mix together well. Add in the dry ingredients, mix until very little traces of flour occur. Next fold in chocolate chips and cookie butter. Bake for about 23 minutes. This recipe can take less than 30 minutes to make. Let the bars cool slightly before cutting them and diving into them. They are so good. The cookie butter swirled through these bars makes these bars stand out.

These are the melt in your mouth type of bar. I can’t wait for you to make these, I know you will love them as much as we do.
