"Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World" is hitting movie theaters in less than a month, and we can’t wait to see spy mom Marissa (played by Jessica Alba) join forces with her step-kids, Rebecca and Cecil, to battle to evil Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven).
Another thing that’s exciting about this film is the brand new Aromascope technology that will let the audience experience the movie through the sense of smell. So to get your nose ready for the big premiere, have some fun with your own kids by trying out this recipe for Spy Kids Magnifying Glass Cookies. We think they smell as good as they taste!
