Extra Time for Treats

By ASHLEY CHEN, ALEXA ALBICOCCO and JAYDEN KUPFERMAN

Baking is a fun and simple way to spend time with your family during the quarantine, and it’s the perfect chance to try recipes you previously never had time for. Here are some easy baking recipes that take under an hour to make. 

Cookie recipes can get every member of the family involved. One person can mix, another can roll the dough and all can decorate!

One recipe you can try out is homemade chocolate chip muffins. A platter of muffins can definitely bring about some smiles during these uneasy times.

Baking delicious treats can also be a learning experience. Use this as an opportunity to teach younger family members how to properly follow recipes. It can be a great time for bonding, as well as an activity to help pass the time at home.
