Yeah its finally fall and we are baking in the Williams home.  I love to bake with my with kids! It is such a fun  time to teach the kids about cooking and how to use the oven, and the safety rules in the kitchen.  It is  also is a fun way to  teach them how to read a recipe and  use fractions.  I love it! My Favorite part is making a mess with my kids and having FUN!! So today it was Chocolate chip cookies using the Ghiradeli Recipe.  We made our amazing cookies from scratch.  (we loved eating the raw dough too)  I included the recipe.  So if you have any kind of chocolate chips in the house you still can make this great cookie Recipe! Enjoy!
