Easy and baking are two words I like seeing next to eachother and that’s why I love this cookie recipe. Not fancy, not gourmet but definitely delicious! A great one to try with kids.
You’ll need…
- 125g butter
- 1 1/4 cups of brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 1/4 cup of self raising flour
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarb
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 2/3 cup Choc chips, M&Ms, cranberries, or your other “chip of choice”
After that…
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and line baking trays with paper.
Beat butter, brown sugar and egg in a small bowl until smooth (use electric beater if you have one)
Sift plain flour, self-raising flour, bicarb and cocoa in a large bowl and add to the other mixture and combine.
Add in your Choc chips and mix
Drop cookie blobs on baking tray with a few cms between each one or you’ll end up with one mega cookie (been there)
Bake for about 10 mins and put on wire rack to cool (and wonder how many will actually last long enough to cool)

This recipe is easy to make, doesn't have many ingredients, requires ONE bowl, is healthy, tastes good, freezes well, is great for lunchboxes and did I mention it taste REALLY good. Thanks to my friend Carlene for this one. 1 large zucchini grated 1 large carrot grated 1 cup cheese grated 3/4 cup almond meal 6 eggs 1/2 cup coconut milk salt, pepper, dried oregano to taste Throw it ALL in a bowl, mix it, pour into a lined slice tray and bake for about half an hour on 180 degrees. Cut into lunchbox size slices and freeze, or just devour it like we did. Extras: Throw in some chopped bacon, ham, mushrooms.....pretty much anything your kids like to eat. You can substitute almond meal with wholemeal spelt flour if you prefer. You can substitute coconut milk for normal milk if you prefer. PLEASE NOTE This recipe has NUTS (almond meal) and EGGS so not suitable for classrooms with food allergies.
