Betty Crocker Premix – the ideal baking companion for all busy Moms!<\/p>\n
I picked up baking few years ago when David bought me a coveted Kitchenaid mixer as a surprise Valentine’s Day gift. I find baking fulfilling because I love how I can bless my friends, family and colleagues with my bakes and see their eyes lit up. However, since the arrival of AJ, I struggled with finding time to rest, let alone bake. The hassle of the preparation from scratch and the washing up proved too time-consuming. When Betty Crocker<\/a> sent over some of their premixes for me to try, I thought it would make an ideal indoor activity to bond with my daughter. Over the long Labor Day weekend while it poured, we stayed home and baked!<\/p>\n Dana and Daddy are big cookie fans so we started with the Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. I like how convenient it is: just open the packet, pour the premix into a mixing bowl, add in butter, egg, water, give it a stir and they’re ready to be baked! This recipe is so simple I actually let my 7yr old do most of the work. I was only needed to help her spoon the batter into equal proportions and send the baking tray into the oven. Under half an hour, we have a whole stack of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies which we savored with a glass of cold milk. The cookies were crisp, chocolaty and not cloyingly sweet. After having passed the taste-test, we bundled some cookies with a craft string and went around blessing our neighbours. All of them were pleasantly surprised and all too happy to receive this home-baked afternoon treat!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3 ingredient Choc Chip Cookies – Butter, Egg and Water!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A fuss-free parent-child bonding activity: Baking!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No mixer needed – just stir with hand!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dollops of choc chip goodness neatly lined…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Into the oven they go…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fresh from the oven! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The perfect treat for the family, done in 20 mins!<\/p>\n
