Let's face it — a lot of us are stuck inside and stressed right now. And we could all use a sweet distraction. (Plus, some of us have a bit more time on our hands while we're trying to stay home, right?)
That's why we rounded up a bunch of our favorite baking recipes that you (and the kids!) can pour all of your energy into — and then devour. So turn off the news for just a bit, turn up your favorite music and get baking. (Self-care for the win!)

4. Chocolate Chunk Potato Chip Cookies

Just a few basic baking ingredients make these scrumptious quick breads possible.
The kids are going to LOVE this one.

Don't fret if your icing doesn't seem quite right at first — make it thicker by adding more sugar to the boiling water, or thinner by using less sugar.
The streusel topping really outdoes itself.
11. Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
This one's made for sharing — but no double dipping! ?
