Baking/cooking: Recipe Suggestion: Round Moon Cheese Cookies with Jam Craters!

Watering Whole @Home Curriculum Week 3


These cookies are sugar-free, so delicious and very easy to make.

Learning points: Cooking and baking is wonderful fine-motor work, building up all those hand and finger muscles through pouring, squigging, moulding and poking etc. It’s also develops math skills through measuring and counting and helps children learn to follow directions too. Here we are also consolidating our learning of circles, moons and craters.

Ingredients:
150g flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
130g finely grated cheddar cheese
130g grated chilled butter
3 TBS jam (strawberry or apricot)

Directions:

Heat the oven to 180 degrees.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt

Fill the centre with jam.
