[****merlin*****]

oh noooooooooooooo
this sackboy is MUCH MUCH MUCH better, and nicer
CK really has outdone herself on this
he is brilliant
and bradley is so chuffed with it


Millie’s cookies  
3oz butter;
 3oz granulated sugar;
  3oz muscovado  sugar;
 Tsp vanilla extract; 
 1 egg;
 6oz self raising flour; 
 Pinch salt;
 4oz of choc chips or raisins or dried apricots, smarties  or whatever you want to add.

 Method: preheat oven to 180 degrees; mix all ingredients together; put spoonfuls onto trays covered with greaseproof paper; cook for 11 minutes.

couple of points
they will look like a dome when you bring them out
they will instantly collapse, dont worry

the muscovado sugar is what makes them chewy soft cookies, dont be tempted to use another sugar

leave them to cool on the tray a little before transferring to a cooling rack, they are uber soft when you take them out the oven

and they are delish and creamy using white choc chunks

just a very quick visit to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to BRADLEY 😄

really pleased he loved his Sackboy, & my youngest (same age) is still nattering me to make him one :^O

Re other Son 😞
Some of you will have read my FB.

Op yesterday went ok ........ but, afterwards he started coughing up blood & breathing problems, he ended up spending the night in ITC with fluid on his lungs.
he's going to be ok though & hopefully will be able to move to another ward later today.
Not a great time for this to happen as today is the 2nd anniversary of losing his older brother.

Good morning everyone.:-D

I'm going to try those cookies merlin, they sound scrummy.

Please wish Bradley a Happy Birthday from me, and I hope he wins the lottery.  Tell him he doesn't have to try everything that's legal at 16!;-)

i copied your recipe Merlin
what happens is you use ddemerra sugar? 

[****merlin*****]

they dont come out quite as soft & chewy towery
it would still make nice cookies
but they wont be the texture of millies

[**towery**]

i dont know any millies

they'll be merlins cookies 🙂


i have a couple of recipes i chop and change already, but they go too fast here - i blame the OH
