Cookies! Based on Millie's cookies recipe
125g butter, softened
100g light brown soft sugar
125g caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
225g self-raising flour
½ tsp salt
200g chocolate chunks (I do 50/50 dark and milk chocolate)
Oven at 180. Line a baking tray with baking/parchment/grease proof paper.
Cream butter and sugars together (meant to be with a spoon but I use electric whisk). Then mix in egg and vanilla extract.
Sieve in the flour and salt. Mix to a dough. Finally add the choc chunks or whatever other flavours you like. I've also done ginger and raisins. Mix with a spoon or by hand so they are evenly running through the dough.
Roll into golf ball size balls and place some on the baking tray with plenty of room for the cookies to spread. I tend to get 6 on a tray.
Bake for 10 minutes. They may look quite wet when they come out but leave stand on the tray for 5-10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack or eat warm!
I batch cook bolognese for my toddler in a wok because I don't have a pan big enough.
Garlic, onion, minced beef, tinned chopped peeled tomatoes, passata, tomato purée, basil
Quantities depend on batch size.
Fry off onions and brown meat, add garlic crushed. When meat all brown add rest of ingredients and stir. Leave to reduce, checking every 5/10 mins to stir. Cook for as lone as possible to break down the meat more but minimum 40 mins. Alternatively after browning meat shove all of it in the slow cooker 8 hrs on low.
