[smiles4u]

Hi all,

My sister gave my 3year old DD a huge tub of 100 cookies cutters yesterday and all today DD has been begging me that we make some together ...

So, could you all please help make a little girl soooo HAPPY here by throwing me your easy cookie/biscuit recipes (i don't have any butter at present but have marg)

TIA from me & Miss C

... Oh, well there is always tomorrow, hee hee and the 100 cookie cutters will be awaiting for me

[*Infinity*]

Here's one for choc chip cookies....I made them yesterday....very yummy

225g butter softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup condensed milk
2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup choc bits

Preheat oven 190 degrees. Grease baking trays.
Cream butter & sugar. Add condensed milk. Cream until mix is light & fluffy.
Sift flour & baking powder into mix, add choc bits and mix together.

Roll tablespoons of mix into balls and place on oven tray. Flatten with a spoon. You might want to change this step to use those cookie cutters - roll up more of the mix and flatten out so your DD can use the cutters to make the shapes.

Bake for 15 mins or until cookies are golden brown.

Have fun!

If you're using cutters, gingerbread is a good one. (BTW, did she get the Aldi ones? That was a GREAT deal!)

Gingerbread

125g unsalted butter
1/2 C sugar
1 egg yolk
2 1/2 C plain flour
1 small tsp bicarb. soda
3 tsp ground ginger
4 (generous)T golden syrup

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolk and beat well. Gradually add sifted dry ingredients and warmed golden syrup. Mix well and knead lightly.
Roll out and cut into shapes.
Bake in slow-moderate oven (mine is about 165 deg C) for 10-15 mins.

Of course it is also fun to decorate them afterwards with icing and sultanas and M&Ms...
Enjoy!!!

Hey Amy they are the Aldi ones ... i remember someone here on BB mentioning them when they were in the shop but at the time i thought where am i gonna put such a big tub of cookie cutters as my kitchen is small, limited with cupboard spare ... luckily DD is only 3 & hopefully won't work it out i have condensed them down to the ones she & i love ... and will give the rest away to someone else on BB ... so i will put a thread on the FREEBIE section if anyone is interested in them SOON and i will list what shapes, etc that they are (no charge for postage)

... Also Amy do you think i could make your Ginger recipe with usual salted butter or marg ??? I usually get unsalted butter but picked up the wrong one today. And is that Tablespoons for the Golden Syrup ??? (oooh, i LOVE that stuff) ... Thanks a million
