My baking boys and fab cookie recipies

Yesterday me Fred and Alex decided to have a baking day, i had treated us to some biscuit cutters from home bargains. It think home bargains sell some fab cooking and baking things and they are really cheap, i thought the biscuit cutters would just be normal cutters but they had handles with springs in, so you could push it in the dough and it would come out with the dough then you pusg the top down to release it onto the baking tray, really easy for little ones and they stay in shape and only 99p for 4 great!



I don't make biscuits very often in fact i think i have only made them twice, once when Ewan was small i made chocolate swirl Shortcakes which didn't look great and tasted less than great and then i got a recipe for Subway Cookies, that were amazing and worked perfectly and i have no idea why i never made them again, but other than those its only every been gingerbread men at Christmas. So i looked for the cookie recipe and realised i had got rid of it as i had written it in my Delia cookbook. I got rid of all my cook books just before Christmas as lets face it you can get any recipe online now and while i used to love thumbing through them, i had learn't most of the recipes by heart and they were taking up a cupboard so they went.



So i found this recipe for Millies cookies Click Here to try it.



As you can see my little cookie monster was happy to test them and they were delicious!

Next we made some basic biscuit dough, which was really easy
250g Butter
140g Caster Sugar
1 Egg Yolk
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
300g Plain Four

Just mix it all together and ball together into a dough and roll out.
Cut into shapes and place in the oven 180c (fan Oven) for 10-12 mins until just starting to brown

With our new cutters, hey presto! Fab, Tasty, Easy Biscuits! Fred was very proud of them.

After they wanted to "camp" so i got the play tent out and they had lunch in it

Unfortunately after lunch they were not tired, just full of sugar from the cookies and wre hyper all afternoon, but it was still good fun xxx
