No, Aggression Cookies aren't supposed to make the kids even more unbearable! According to Jacquelyn Snow Madison, the kids will make the cookies taste better AND get their anxiety out by kneading, mashing, squeezing, and beating the dough.
Or maybe they'll just get extra hyper while making fifteen dozen cookies full of pet hair and cold germs at the time of year when everyone is overwhelmed with sweets anyway. Either way, they'll be busy for the afternoon!
I'm dying laughing over here....I have a five year old and that was the first thought of - dozens of germy sticky hands getting batter everywhere...that would make my anxiety rise not fall!!
ReplyDeleteI imagine so! Hygiene is not at the top of most kids' lists of concerns...

ReplyDeleteThere's a prize in every cookie. Chew carefully, and make sure you know what you are swallowing.
ReplyDeleteIf you're lucky, it's just cat hair.
