What to bake?

[christy]

awww lauren! You are such a good cook, I'm sure you can bake up a storm!

I would say to do something simple, basic.... if you want it to go into the oven (as opposed to a chocolate pudding....) than a biscuit slice might be nice... or just a plain ol chocolate chip biscuit, do an American style gooey one!

My chocolate chip biscuit is very simple and you can play with the recipe

2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
2 eggs
250gm butter unsalted
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
250gm dark chocolate bits

*my normal add ins are: 1/4 cup sweet potato puree, take out 1/4 cup white sugar... 1/4 cup walnuts chopped finely, 1 tbsp linseeds ground well*

**if you want white chocolate or milk chocolate bits, maybe lessen the sugar content? **

Basic recipe:
Cream the butter and sugars together, then add eggs one at a time, add vanilla (I add in my sweet potato now too). Combine the flour, baking powder, bicarb soda and 1/2 tsp salt together. Add 1/2 cup flour mix into the wet mix until combined and then repeat until mix is gone. If the mix is too dry, add 1 tbsp milk to moisten enough. Fold in chocolate bits or dry add ins.
