For years, I’ve made muffins or cookies on the weekend for my kids to take in their lunchboxes. They’re also great as afterschool snacks.

Now that my kids are older, they’re responsible for helping when we do our prep for the week. So every Sunday afternoon, we do some easy recipes like these cookies.
