Cooking Lessons

Sophie has decided that it is high time she learned how to cook. Last week she told me she wanted to make a "resipe" (recipe) so I let her flip through some cookbooks and look at the photos to choose something to make. She decided on meringue cookies so I pulled out one of my favorite cookie recipes Chocolate Walnut Meringue Cookies - it is so easy, has no butter and it is fast!
Sophie dried the bowl for us before we whipped up the meringue (which we had to do twice) and then she tried to chop the chocolate which proved too tough for her. She and Natalie really enjoyed scooping the finished product onto the cookie sheet before baking. They were not the prettiest things, but no one complained and they were gone within a half hour of coming out the the oven!
