That's the way a cookie crumbles..

So I will be sharing my tried and tested recipes with you, they are somewhat fool proof. So bear in mind you do not have to worry about your end result.
Most recipes are on an easy level and can be prepared in no time at all. So if it's an afternoon tea you planning or just feeling for a pick me up why not try one of these.





This is a versatile cookie recipe where lot of variants can be added to it. You can add in nuts, glaze cherries, choc chips. They are delicious plain too.

Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
500g Pure Butter
1 cup Icing Sugar
1 1/2 cups Cornflour
Flour as required

Method:
Cream butter and icing sugar till pale in colour. Add in your cornflour and mix through. Now add flour 1 cup at a time as mixing until you get a soft smooth dough. Make sure you add a bit at time, you don't want a too stiff dough.
You can roll cookie dough between sheets of grease proof paper, and cut shapes as desired alternatively you can pipe them out with a pastry bag fitted with a star nozzle.
Bake them on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 180 degrees Celsius for about 10 - 15 minutes (all depends on your oven heat settings) or until the are golden in colour.
Once cooled decorate as desired, with melted chocolate, royal icing or a dusting of icing sugar.

Enjoy!!!
