Whenever I do a demo for kids I always make them Digby cakes (the 
almost-shortbread currant cookies from Kenelm Digby that he calls "fine 
cakes").  Any other kind of jumbals would work just as well.  Then I tell 
them that these are among the earliest recipes we have for cookies and 
explain a little bit about historic cooking.  I don't know if they actually 
pay attention to the history lesson or not, but they always love the 
cookies...  ;-)
