Cookies

Oh yes, yummy yummy cookies!  Everyone loves cookies don't they.  I have a recipe for lovely gooey cookies and last year found a similar recipe on SJ's Blog.  Only difference was the sugar.  I had always used 200g of caster sugar but SJ's recipe uses 100g of soft brown sugar and 125g of caster sugar.  Tried this and must admit they are even more gooey.

Ingredients

125g softened butter

100g light brown soft sugar

125g caster sugar

1 egg

225g self-raising flour

Flavours

Chocolate Chip - 200g chocolate chips

Chocolate Cookies - use 200g of flour and 25g of Chocolate plus 200g white chocolate chips

Smartie - 2 tubes of smarties
Toblerone - 1 large or 5 mini bars

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C

Cream butter and sugars

Beat the egg and add to sugar/butter mix

Sift flour and add to the mixture.

Mix

Now add your chosen flavour and mix

Break off small amounts, roll into a ball and place on greaseproof paper.  

Push down flat 

Place in the oven for 7 to 8 minutes

When cooked, press the tops down with a spatula and allow to cool.

The cookies will apparently last for 3 days in an airtight container, for some unknown reason they last about 15 minutes in our house ;0)

If you want to try something different, roll the dough in to block, wrap in greaseproof then a plastic bag and freeze.  When frozen serve with ice cream!


Been very busy scrapping today - Made 6, yes you are reading that correctly, I've made 6 LO's.  Will be back in the week to show you those as I have something important taking me away from blogland the next few days and I need to get bags packed.
