chocolate, cranberry and chia seed cookies

Childrens' party packs are often filled with sweets and junk food - every parent's nightmare.  Of course, a one off treat is no harm but here's an idea to try for your kid's next birthday party - a DIY cookie jar!  It's so simple to make - you only need to add 3 ingredients easily found in your refridgerator/store cupboard.

step-by-step

1/4 cup (50g) butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
add jar contents
shape cookies
bake on lined tray

benefits of a healthy diy cookie jar

  • It encourages your kids to participate in food preparation.  
  • This activity is so simple they are out of the kitchen before they can create a mess.
  • Children are eating healthful ingredients without realising it - oats, chia seeds, dried cranberries, dark chocolate.  If you want to cut back on more fat intake, you can also substitute the butter with the same amount of applesauce/mashed bananas/prune puree.
