Chocolate Chip Cookies by Ashley Monahan (age 4)
We hope back-to-school has gone smoothly for everyone! To celebrate the new school year, we thought it would be fun to highlight a school-related recipe from one of our team members, Ashley Zehnder.

Considering this “recipe” is from my childhood, I would prefer not to think of it as historic. During the 1989-1990 school year, my pre-school created a cookbook with students’ favorite recipes – written by the children. As you can imagine, 4-year-olds are not the greatest recipe developers, discerners of ingredients and amounts, or judges of temperature and cook time.
So for pure entertainment, I present to you 4-year-old Ashley’s version of chocolate chip cookies! The photo is a nice visual of the ingredients, but I did not actually attempt to make this recipe since I had no desire to scrub burnt sugar from my cookie sheets.
My recipe development skills have improved significantly since my pre-school days, and I am now a very proficient baker.
