How The Boys Cooking Club Started

In 2010, a 10 year old boy had a great idea to share a passion of cooking with his friends. He wanted to start a club where they could learn about food, cooking and have a fun time together. He invited his friends and they started meeting once a week at his house.
They have learned many things about food (nutrition, different ways to cook eggs, etc..), had some contests (Junior Iron Chef, making meals at home), and had some fun adventures, (like cooking over a campfire and in a dutch oven).

In March 2012 it will be two years since this club was started, and they are still going strong!!

Bon Apetit, Junior Chefs!

German Cookies with a Touch O' the Irish



We wanted to make something fun for St. Patrick's Day, so we made these traditional German Spritz cookies,colored them green, and made them in shamrock shapes. We also sprinkled them with green sugar before baking them. Yummy!

Spritz Cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F. Thoroughly cream butter and sugar. Add egg, milk, vanilla, and almond extract; beat well. Stir together flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing to make a smooth dough. Do not chill. Place dough into cookie press and press cookies onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 400 for 6 to 8 minutes; remove cookies from sheet; cool on rack.
Makes 6 dozen cookies.
