Looking for what to do today, my fingers began to shake and jitter. I just had to do something new. Then I had a brain wave, I would do something I had done before- bake, yes, and bake my most favourite snacks, cookies.
I learnt this recipe from and old cookery cook I found lying about somewhere in my kitchen, and I thought I'd share it with those that have the flare, and even if you are not interested, did you know that new recipes could serve as perfect gifts. I mean, type it out on colourful paper, write a sweet not beneath it spray some nice fragrance on it, and send it out in an envelop to Grandma or your great-aunt, or to that lovely lady that waves at you from her garden across the road.
Never knew making cookies could be so easy. First of all, the recipes:
Ingredients:
- Plain flour- 125g
- Sugar - 50g
- Butter - 75 g
- Porridge Oats - 75g
- 2 eggs
- a table spoon of milk
- a pinch of salt
- Dark Chocolate -250
- Peanuts (optional)
- Baking soda
I forgot to mention, that I eventually made chocolate chip cookies. But of course this can be omitted, it depends on your taste.
And now, the long awaited method:
- Blend the chocolates to large chunks
- Melt the butter over some warm water
- Mix the Flour, soda, sugar and pinch of salt in a bowl, then add the oats,
- Mix well, and stir in the eggs, already whisked
- Then mix in your melted butter, and tablespoon of milk
- At this point the peanuts can be added if necessary
- Turn on your oven to mark 5
- While the oven is preheating, using a spoon, spread out your mixture evenly on an oven tray. Remember to space them out as they have a tendency to increase in size.
- Use a fork to part down the chunks and then place your tray in the oven
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until they are golden brown
Now your cookies are ready to eat. See easy. Now enjoy, with a glass of milk, or with some freshly squeezed orange juice, I'll probably give the recipe for that next time.
