Bake and Share #2 - it's cookie time!

[JLeigh29]

(Thanks Raupe for the thread title! )

OK, time to get out your best biscuit and cookie recipes for a bake and share day this Thursday 17 March. The idea is to bake something yourself and share it with someone outside your household so that you can connect with someone you haven't seen in a while or make someone's day by showing them that you're thinking of them.

Post your fave recipe and tell us who you're going to share with (and why). Some ideas to get you started:
*your hairdresser
*little old lady down the road who never seems to get visitors
*your child's swimming teacher
*the check out lady who serves you every week and is always so friendly
*a friend you haven't caught up with for ages because she's just had a baby/been sick/kids have had chicken pox etc

Hope to have lots of happy bakers!

Wonder if i can find a dairy free biscuit mix i can make, tell DP i want to make them for when we go camping next week

Great idea ! I do this a lot anyway

ZF- I use my normal sugar cookie recipe but replace the butter with nuttlex spread (or similar non dairy spread), works quite well, sometimes just need to add a little more flour
PM me if you'd like the recipe.

I'm in for this one too

Not sure who I will be giving cookies to though. I will have to think about it. I might give them to a friend who is moving house with her 5 kids and is having some teenager issues atm.
This is my favourite recipe for cookies. It is the only one we use now -

* 250g butter
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 can condensed milk
* 3 cups sifted self raising flour
* 1 packet of milk chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar. Add condensed milk, flour, chocolate chips. Mix through. Roll into balls and bake at 180 degrees until slightly golden. They will still be very soft but they firm up when cooled.

This recipe actually freezes really well too, so I often make up a mix, divide it and roll into a sausage and cover with cling wrap and freeze. When it is time to use the mix all you have to do is cut slices off and bake.
