Day 12./ hand made, fair trade cookies.


My friend and I made cookies. Affordable, delicious, fair trade chocolate chip cookies.

And we didn't even go by a recipe.

Here is ours:

Ingredients.
- 100g butter (91c)
- 3/4 cup plain flour (22c)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (3c)
- 2 tbls white sugar (1c)
- 1 egg (53c)
- 1 tsp bi carb soda (6c)
- 1/4 of a block of cadbury chocolate (117c)

Method.
1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (fan forced).
2. Ensure the butter is soft (microwave for 15-30 secs).
3. Add everything except the egg together and knead with hands! Very messy but lots of fun.
4. Crack the egg in a separate bowl and whisk.
5. Add with everything else and mix together until a thick gooey paste is made.
6. With a sharp knife, chop the chocolate into tiny pieces and mix in with everything else.
7. Grease a baking tray and put slightly larger than golf ball sized portions of the mix on it.
8. Bake for 15 minutes.

Makes 9 cookies at 33c each.
