I went out Tuesday night (it's now Thursday) and suffice to say, I still feel rather icky. Seeing as I could barely stand yesterday, today seemed like a good day to bake something. Something simple, sweet and comforting. And nothing says "CURE ME" better than m&m cookies.
My plan was to make proper cookies, but I forgot the eggs so I reverted back to a shortbread recipe. Just as tasty.
Ingredients:
-4oz butter
-2oz caster sugar
-6oz flour (SR or plain)
-Pinch of salt
-tsp of almond/vanilla extract
-M&M's for decorating (i've got peanut ones)
Method:
-Pre-heat oven to 170c / gas mark 3
-Cream the sugar and butte together
-Add flour, salt and extract
-Knead it into a doughy consistency
-Leave to sit for approx. 15mins
-Once you're bored of waiting, roll it out on a flat surface to about 1/4inch in thickness. Take your cutter of choosing and cut away! I thought i'd give one of my new Halloween ones a go.
-Decorate with the m&m's
-Pop in the oven; they cook pretty quickly, so just keep an eye on them and take them out when they're a little firm and golden brown.
Now, if like me you're not feeling too good: take a biscuit (warm), find a dark corner and veg out.
