When I think of kids cooking, my mind wanders back to my childhood days when I\u2019d play with my Easy-Bake Oven. This cooking competition is a bit more advanced then that. Last night, 22 youngsters from 5-18 years showed off their baking skills at the Farmhouse Kitchen in FairView Farms in the Favorite Cookie competition. The cookies were judged on taste and appearance, with several original flavors (Almond Joy Cookie? Yum!). The judges certainly had their work cut out for them, but in the end four overall winners emerged in each category. Congrats to our winners and thanks to all our participants\u2014each cookie was definitely a treat! We look forward to seeing you on future episodes of Top Chef.
