Everyone's gone cookie'in MAD on here!!!

Hehe they have

Made em, and theyre nomalicious!

I have to add a tip to anyone else making them for the first time.
Dont open the oven after 10 minutes (or whenever you remember

), look at them on the tray, give them a poke, and see them all liquidy / wobbly like, and go 'oooh they need more time' THEY DON'T! lol

Take them out and they will set.
Leave them in and the baking powder starts to work and you end up with aeriated cookies which lose theyre chewyliciousness.

I made two batches tonight
One with white chocolate chunks, and another with fruit and nut toblerone....and aero bubbles

They look bloody fab

Hehe. I'm down to the last few

Gave a couple to the kids for their lunchboxes etc.
Unfortunately, the last few are the ones that ended up 'rising' a bit too much and also ended up a bit like biscuits.

Luckily, a quick dunk in a cup of tea, and theyre soggy chewy cookies again

Lana's mother makes by far the best cookies I've ever tasted. After these threads on cookies I thought I'd try and nab her recipe and pass it along. She's tried many, many ways of making cookies over the years and whilst they were good never reached brilliance until she tried someone elses at a brownie's event at a local school. She got the recipe off the genius behind those and now passes it on wherever she can

At some point this week I'll try and have a try at making these (and Kate's gorgeous looking ones, strictly for scientific comparison naturally) . I've done my best to translate the American 'cups' measurements into proper measurements.

3 1/4 cup (360g) of flour
1tsp Soda (I presume she means bicarbonate of soda)
1 cup (225g) caster sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup (115g) butter
1/2 cup (120ml) Sour Cream

200 degrees for 5 minutes.

Not sure how many that makes, looks like possibly more than Kate's, but the ratios of ingredients are different so *shrug*
