Cooking Class--Double Chocolate Cookies

This past Friday was our first cooking class. We made Double Chocolate Cookies. I think it went pretty well. It probablly would have been better if I hadn't been in a grumpy mood. I was a tad bit impatient. We went over the basics, such as:

*Washing hands/work area before you cook.
*Reading over the recipe first.
*Gathering what equipment and ingredients you need before you start.
*Measuring dry ingredients.
*Basic knife skills.
*Cleaning up as you cook.
*Stove/Oven safety.

I'm hoping by the end of the summer our classes will flow more smoothly. I think as the kids learn more, they will be able to really enjoy cooking, and maybe I'll be more willing to let them help in the kitchen. It was awesome to see how proud the kids were of their cookies

Note on the recipe:
The cookies turned out ok. I thought they were a bit too chewy, and too bitter sweet. I think I'll try and take pictures next time. Our next recipe will be lemon cupcakes. (Elise's Choice)
