Some people call these baked pancakes, or pancake bowls, or Dutch babies. I'm calling them Baked Pancake Bowls because that fits well with our If You Give a Mouse a Cookie baking camp. No matter what you call it, the end product is simple and delicious. You can eat it as a breakfast, snack, or dessert.
There are so many things you can do with sugar cookie dough. For this recipe, I recommend using a cookie dough mix and focus more on having kids shape it into cookie cups. Pressing the dough into mini muffin cups is a great motor skill challenge for little hands. This is the kind of recipe that works well with kids under age 10. For older kids, I think they can try to do it on their own, reaching out to parents, if needed.
