This was given to me by my manager. We've probably always got these ingredients in!

MEGA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Makes about 24 Biscuits

Roughly chop plain chocolate if you don?t have any chocolate chips. These cookies are not quiet as crisp as a biscuit; and they won?t keep for long, a couple of days at the most.

INGREDIENTS

6oz (175G) soft margarine
8oz (225g) caster sugar
2 eggs
12oz (350g) self- raising flour
4oz (100g) plain chocolate chips

Pre- heat oven to 180c/350f/gas4. Lightly grease 3 baking trays.
Measure all the ingredients into a medium bowl and mix thoroughly until a smooth biscuit dough is formed.
Place large spoonfuls of the mixture well apart in the prepared baking trays and flatten slightly using the back of a spoon.
Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and just firm to the touch.
Cool on a wire rack, then store in airtight container.

Nigella's biscuits are fab, but you need to be prepared in advance because the mixture needs to be chilled before use. I double the mixture and keep some in the freezer for unexpected school fetes and bored evenings. 90g softened butter, 100g caster sugar, i egg, 200g plain flour, .5 tsp baking powder. cream butter and sugar, beat in the egg, stir in the flour mix together, form into a blob, wrap in cling film, chill for at least an hour. Roll out on a floured surface, cut out and bake for about 10 minutes in 180c oven. They need to be browned round the edges. They will still be soft in the middle byt they'll harden up as they cool.

these are great

emily if you have the time to post all of them that would be great sounds brilliant

oatcake - don't have any plain chocolate doh but will get some in

seeker - will have a go naptime not until 2pm

thanks x

These are really yummy

1.5 oz brown sugar
2 oz butter/marg
3 oz oats
1/4 tsp bicarb

Mix in big bowl (use your hands - get messy) - the more mixing the better.
Form mixture into balls and place on baking sheet.
Butter the bottom of a glass and dip into bowl of sugar; then flatten balls with glass.

Bake 10-12 mins at gas 4 (350).

On red-nose day I add red food colour and decorate with 1/2 glace cherry (otherwise they look like slices of salami!). I used green food colouring once too, and they looked like some sort of cabbage fritter! We had great fun pretending they were.

Gosh sorry FORGOT THE FLOUR!!!!
1 1/2 oz flour as well.

Silly me

shortbread

6oz plain flour
1oz cornflour
4oz butter
2oz caster sugar

cream sugar and butter together ,then mix in both flours. Knead everything together and roll out on a floured board. cut into whatever shape you fancy and cook in oven on 180 degrees c for about 7 mins ,but watch it like a hawk cos any bisuits can burn really quickly.

i press choc chips into the tops sometimes

cook them on a sheet of baking parchment if you've got it ,really saves on washing up

will post some more recipes after lunch
