Cookie Mix
Before You Start
From the kit you will require: Cookie mix bag, 5ml measuring spoon.
Cookie Mix
In addition you will need: 50g butter (salted or unsalted), water, mixing bowl.
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (gas mark 4) (170 degrees C in a fan oven).
2. GENTLY soften 50g (2oz) of butter (salted or unsalted) until it has just melted in a large bowl. Between 10 and 20 seconds in a microwave on full power is usually enough for butter from the fridge. DO NOT BOIL.
3. If you overheat the butter, allow it to cool before going to step 4 otherwise any cocoa or chocolate chips in the mix may melt! (You would get chocolate cookies in this case which is not a disaster!).
4. Add a bag of cookie mix to the butter.
5. Add some water 1tsp at a time and mix by hand until the dough can be squeezed into small balls. If the balls are about the size of a ping pong ball, you will get ten cookies. Usually 5 teaspoons of water is sufficient but if the mix is very dry add one extra teaspoon of water until the ball holds its shape.
6. Place balls on a baking tray leaving 6cm between balls to allow for spread and cook in the middle of the oven for 10 – 12 minutes to give a soft cakey cookie. 15 minutes will give a crisp cookie.
7. Leave cookies to cool until firm and ready to eat.
