Simple cookies!

[lunavix]

Has anyone got any basic cookie recipes?

I'm sure theres a few I should know, only have the basics ie flour, milk, eggs, golden syrup etc... no chocolate chips

ASDA ready mix cookie mix! Just add water!!

also try ASDA ready mixed muffin mix and add water and a mashed banana

As you can tell im a rubbish cook!!

I can't! Nearest Asda is like 80 miles away!

Hence I have water, milk, egg, flour...

sorry

how about something like this

don't have any of the raisiny bits of demera sugar (never heard of it!)

argh I was so sure there was an easy cookie recipe! I think I was fooling myself!

There is... but I don't know it either....been waiting for someone else to post it so that I can copy it.

I always jsut bung in whatever sugar i have regardless of what it says in the recipie and never had any probs. Demerara is brown sugar.

140g (5oz) softened butter
140g (5oz) caster sugar
2 drops vanilla essence
1 egg, beaten
285g (10oz) plain flour
a pinch of salt
1 x writing icing set (available from most supermarkets)
a sheet of clear cellophane for wrapping
pink ribbon

Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5

Using a wooden spoon, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla essence together until creamy, then add the beaten egg, a little at a time. Sieve the flour and salt into the mixture and stir together to form a dough.

Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface to 1cm (1/2 inch) thick. Cut out using different shaped cutters. Arrange on a baking sheet and cook for about 10 minutes or until just beginning to turn brown. Lift onto a wire rack and cool.

Decorate the biscuits with the icing and leave to set.
