It’s official! We turned in all 101 recipes for the Cooking With Kids cookbook! This has been such a fun adventure with the kiddos. We are also sharing our recipe for Lemon Crinkle Cookies today because it was the last recipe we photographed and felt like a fun treat to celebrate with. These fluffy little mounds of tart dough, are covered in sweet powdered sugar! This is a tasty dessert for any day. Read on to learn how to make lemon crinkle cookies and get the latest scoop on the cookbook. 

Cooking With Kids

We have a new name for the cookbook! Instead of “Kids in the Kitchen”, It will be called “Cooking With Kids!” After a lot of research, the publisher found this new name was not yet taken and would be the best fit for this book. I really like the name and I hope you do too! I can’t believe we submitted all of the recipes this week. It was a little bittersweet because we’ve been having so much fun with it. It’s super exciting to have it all submitted though and I can’t wait for the next steps. 

We have another concept in mind that I can’t wait to share with you, but I will wait till we know if it’s a go. I also have plans to create more new recipes for the blog and bring you new stories starting next week! Now, let’s get to these cookies!
 

Lemon Crinkle Cookie Dough

I really love how easy these cookies are to make. They have a vibrant flavor and are so simple. The dough is like any other start to a cookie dough, but it has lemon zest and lemon juice! Once the dough is made, simply roll the balls of dough into powdered sugar and bake!
