M&M & Choc Chip Cookies

Drama's at the moment with the Hubby as he is being an inconsiderate jerk. So Here's a yummy cookie recipe. (um joining those 2 sentences made sense in my mind)

I'm quite a good little baker and was asked to make this recipe as morning tea for a S.E Asian F&B conference held at the hotel once, They were a big hit.

M&M & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes approx 20

Ingredients

125g Butter

½ Cup caster sugar

½ cup light brown sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 & ¾ cups SR Flour

½ tsp salt

2 x 200g packets of M&M’s (add more is desired)

180g Choc chips (add more is desired)

Method

1. Pre heat oven to 180C and line biscuit trays with baking paper.
2. Cream together butter, both sugars and vanilla until mixture is pale. Add egg and mix until well combined. Sift in flour and salt mix well with wooden spoon.
3. Add in M&M’s and choc chips mixing until all combined.
4. Shape dough into small round balls and place on trays allowing room for cookie to spread. Bake for approx 15mins, Cool on tray for 5 mins before transferring to wire rack.

* 15 mins baking time gives the cookie a soft moist centre, increase the cooking time to 18 mins if you want a crunchy centre.

Business as Usual

So GM is back from Mumbai.

He has an inbox full of guest complaints, mostly boring things like:

1. Guest asked for "Doctor". Engineering guy turned up with an "adapter"

2. Guest complains she did not receive a complimentary fruit basket on arrival. (Get over yourself lovey)

I might start posting recipes on this site, I love cooking & one of the perks here is I can get my hands on a lot of delicious recipes from the management company's top executive chefs.

Need to call the Expat Women's Association regarding charity work, Then I'm going shopping.

*I think I'll start referring to Husband as GM in my posts as its quicker to type.
