In honor of Mother’s Day, Wesson has put together 4 fun, kid-friendly desserts that are easy enough to make with the help of little hands.

Sunburst Star Sugar Cookies

Soft, bright, and perfectly versatile, these sugar cookies can be customized to best represent mom! No matter the color or cookie cutter you use, these treats are packed with delight and are easy to make with kids. The recipe calls for Wesson Canola Oil instead of butter, making the dough easy to mix and roll no matter how small the baker is.

Kid’s Role: Dough rolling + cookie cutting

Dessert Nachos

The classic party snack just got a sweet upgrade! These fusion nachos are crunchy, delicious, and ready to be topped with any of mom’s favorite sweet treats. Whether you’re chowing down on a dessert or an indulgent snack, Mother’s Day can come with a fun nacho twist.

Kid’s Role: Assembling the plate + drizzling the sweet saucy goodness on top.

Make-Ahead Strawberry Cheesecake Whoopie Pies

The ultimate fun dessert has to be covered in sprinkles! No matter how kid-friendly, these whoopie pies come with elevated flavors that are sure to impress every type of sweet tooth. Another plus for mom: these treats keep perfectly in the fridge, so you can make them well before a Mother’s Day picnic or dinner, hassle free.

Kid’s Role: Placing strawberries in the pies + of course, sprinkle duty!

Wesson’s Chocolate Ganache Cake

Chocolate Ganache Cake… it tastes as decadent as it sounds. This cake is chocolate on chocolate – a more mature dessert that the whole family will love. Moist, rich, and luxurious, sometimes a chocolate cake is just what mom needs.

Kid’s Role: Master mixer + ganache glazer.

Enjoy some fun in the kitchen with your kids this Mother’s day (and leave the clean-up for your partner). 😉
