This was a favorite recipe when the kids were little. They could help without any mess and the cookies were always delicious. I would let them shape them on the cookie sheet in any shape they liked, knowing that they would look like blobs in the end. They were always so proud of their work. And since the batter doesnt have eggs in it, they can safely eat it raw. This recipe is really easy to double or triple!
Aggression Cookies
makes 12-18 cookies
1 cups oats (old-fashioned)
1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour (try a mix of wheat and white)
1 stick butter
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
a few shakes of cinnamon, if you like
dash of vanilla, if you like
Put all the ingredients in a ziplock bag (if you've doubled or tripled the recipe then you'll need more bags and more kids). Hand it to a child and tell them to squeeze and punch and push... the more, the better. You can also use a large bowl if you're not working with children.
Prepare a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Roll the dough into small, walnut-sized balls and place about 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet(s). They will S P R E A D. Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges brown. Remove to a cooling rack.
