This is my basic recipe for cookies, you can add whatever you like to flavour or decorate, add cocoa powder and choc chips, for double choc chip cookies.
10oz Sugar
5oz Butter
1tsp Vanilla extract
2 Eggs
8oz SR Flour
Cream softened butter and sugar.
Mix in beaten eggs with vanilla or other flavouring.
Mix in flour.
Use floured hands to make dough into size of a golf ball, (this is quite a soft mixture, so may need to be liberal with the flour)
Place on greased baking tray, well apart (they will spread), and flatten down slightly.
Bake Gas 5
for 10-15 mins, until light brown.
Leave on tray for 5 mins, then place on wire rack to cool.
Don't worry if they have spread into each other, if you want to tidy them up, use a large cookie cutter to reshape, as soon as they come out of the oven.
I also put a pack of Smarties in mine, as kids love them.
Enjoy!
This is absolutely scrumptious, and ideal as a valentines gift! Please let me know if you try these.....
9oz Plain Flour
3oz Castor sugar
6oz Butter
1tsp strawberry flavouring

When baked, place on wire rack to cool and sprinkle lightly with castor sugar, Yum!
