Children's Day 2021: Chocolate chip cookies, vanilla mug cake recipes for kids

Predicting kids' culinary tastes on a daily basis is a nearly impossible task that often ends in tears but Children's Day is the last day we want to run out of flavourful and fun dishes to whip up for our kiddos, which is why we are treating them to chocolate chip cookies and vanilla mug cake. Each year we celebrate National Children’s Day, also known as ‘Bal Diwas’, on November 14 to raise awareness about the rights of children and to provide adequate education and care for all.

Children’s Day also commemorates the birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, fondly known as ‘Chacha Nehru’ and on this day, teachers and parents strive to make it into a special occasion for all children by showering them with affection and surprise gifts and even putting on entertaining performances for them in their respective schools. With the benefit of work-from-home owing to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we decided to give Children's Day our own special twist this year.

Looking for healthy sweet treats to surprise your kids this Children's Day? Search no more as we got you sorted with these nutritious, yummy and easy to make recipes of chocolate chip cookies and vanilla mug cake.
