Recipe: Millie's Cookies recipe

I have been craving to bake something that is new and that I have never tried before and that is a Millie Cookie. So my friend Jess told me that there are some recipes floating around on the internet that are based on the company's Cookies. Even though I have never tried a Millie Cookie I found this recipe and they taste really good. This is how I made them:

Ingredients:

125g Butter, softened

100g Light Brown Soft Sugar

125g Caster Sugar

1 Eggs, Lightly Beaten

1tsb Vanilla Extract

225g Self-Raising Flour

½ tsp Salt

200g Broken up flake bars or you could use chocolate chips

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C

2. In a bowl place butter, light brown sugar and caster sugar and mix together with a electric hand mixer until creamy

3. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix

4. Next sift in the flour and salt then add in the broken up flakes and mix together

5. On a few baking trays roll the mixture into balls

6. Cook for 10 minuets 

Recently, I have made these again because they got eaten so quickly and replaced the flake pieces with Smarties and these still taste great. Also I suggest making these with white chocolate these will be super yummy!

Recipe: Mini Egg Cookies

Since Easter was a few weeks ago I still had some Mini Eggs left to use up so I decide to put them to good use in a cookie recipe.

For full ingredients and instructions please follow this link where I found the recipe here
First I mixed butter and soft brown sugar together until soft and then added golden syrup and mixed again

 Next I broke up some mini eggs using a rolling pin and added them to the mixture with the flour

Mix the mixture until it forms dough and roll into small balls and place apart on the lined baking paper

Cook for around 12-14 minutes until golden brown and you're done

If you don't have any mini eggs you can use Smarties, M&M's or Minstrels
