Quick and easy recipes for kids to work on...?!

me and my brother when we were little used to do this recipes and the link below is were we got the recipes off of.
Cheese Straws (my favorite)
Ingredients
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. Romano cheese, finely grated
1 tbsp. imported paprika
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/4 lb. prepared puff pastry dough, defrosted according to package directions
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 egg white lightly beaten with 2 tsp. of water

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper, cut so that 1 inch of metal is exposed at each end of the pan. In a bowl, combine cheese, paprika, and pepper, and set aside.
Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface and dust. Roll the dough into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle, about 1/16 of an inch thick. Brush the dough with a little bit of egg wash. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture evenly over the surface, spreading it with your fingers. Lightly flatten the dough with a floured rolling pin. Fold the rectangle in half crosswise to enclose the cheese, forming a 7 1/2- by 10-inch rectangle. Brush the top with more egg wash; sprinkle half of the remaining cheese mixture over the surface, spreading evenly; roll lightly again. Turn the dough over and repeat the procedure on the other side.
With a long sharp knife, slice the folded dough crosswise into 20 1/2-inch-wide strips. Picking up one folded strip at a time, unfold it and place it across the prepared baking sheet, stretching gently so that the ends of the strip reach the exposed metal edges of the baking sheet. (Gently twisting the dough gives a rope effect.) To prevent the straw from curling while baking, press the ends firmly onto the baking sheet so that the dough sticks. Repeat with the remaining strips, spacing them 1/2 inch apart on each pan. (Unbaked strips can be left on their baking sheets, covered securely with plastic wrap, and frozen for up to two weeks.) Bake ten minutes or until golden brown. Makes 20.

No Bake Cookies

2 cups sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup milk

Put all ingredients into a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolved - bring to boil - boil for one minute. Remove from heat and add 3 cups quick cooking oatmeal and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (more if you like the taste of peanut butter). Mix well. Drop by spoonful onto wax paper and allow to cool.


My daughter and I whipped these up yesterday and it took us less than 15 minutes. They tasted wonderful!

You can get a box mix of lemon bars. all you do is add water eggs and mix, and for the crust all they would have to do is press it down into the pan. It's super easy but after they're done it looks like a complicated dessert so they'll feel like they've accomplished something. It's cheap too so even if they mess it up somehow it's no biggie!
