CHRISTMAS COOKING: COOKIES

Hey girls,
I am going to share with you a super easy way to make usual choc chip cookies festive and the perfect treat for christmas!

All your going to need to make delicious cookies is a normal cookie recipe! You can make any flavour of cookie, even cakes or gingerbread but if you want to make choc chip cookies then use the ingredients provided!

Ingredients

150g softened butter

1/2 cup caster sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

1 3/4 cups plain flour

1/2 cup dark chocolate bits

1/2 cup milk chocolate bits

Something else that your going to need are cookie cutters! The cutters I am using are a glove, star, gingerbread man and fat gingerbread man.

You can find cookie cutters EVERYWHERE but I have mine from when I bought a sprinkles rack from Target. You can try homewares shops, your local grocery store and really anywhere but if all else fails you can look online :)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick paper. Beat 150g softened butter, 1/2 cup caster sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and well combined. Beat in 1 egg.

2. Stir in 1 3/4 cups plain flour in two batches. Stir in 1/2 cup dark choc bits and 1/2 cup milk choc bits until evenly distributed. Spoon tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place on the lined trays. Press down slightly.

3. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until light golden and cooked. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

So that is it!! A super easy way to make a boring cookie festive and perfect for christmas. Super simple!! I hope this gave you a little cooking inspiration for the holidays :)
