Really Easy Soft White Chocolate and Fudge Cookies

Some of the best cookies I have ever tasted, and so simple!

Makes 18 medium sized cookies

You will need:

200g butter

200g caster sugar

2 tbs golden syrup

300g self-raising flour

100g white chocolate chips

100g fudge chunks

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease 2 – 3 large baking trays (or bake in 2 batches)

2. Put the sugar and butter into a bowl and stir into a paste. Add half the flour, all the golden syrup and the fudge and white chocolate pieces and stir into a dough. Add the last 150g of flour and stir until completely mixed.

3. Use your hands to roll small balls of dough and spread them evenly on a baking tray. Do not set them too close as they will spread out and you don’t want them to touch.

4. Bake at the bottom of the oven for 8- 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies look brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on the tray; they will not look cooked when you get them out of the oven but once they cool they will harden into perfect cookies.

I love this recipe, It is the ultimate recipe for soft, sticky centred cookies!

Mint Lamb Burgers

Today I made dinner, Mint Lamb Burgers with lemon sour cream dip and pea shot and baby leave salad. Really tasty.

None of my amounts are fixed so feel free to add or leave out anything

Serves 5 with 2 left overs that can be frozen.

You will need:

800g minced lamb

A few mint leaves

1 1/2 lemons, squeezed

Salt and pepper

Dried chilli flakes

1 teaspoon mint sauce

1 very small onion or shallot (optional), chopped

Flour, for dusting

5 burger buns

1 bag mixed pea shoot and baby leaves salad, or make your own with pea shoots and baby leaves

200ml Sour cream

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Put the Lamb, Mint, Mint Sauce, Onion, the juice of half a lemon, Salt, Pepper and a pinch of chilli flakes into a large bowl and squidge it with your fingers until the mixture stays together.

2. Dust a chopping board or work surface with flour and empty the contents of the bowl, roll into a log shape, and slice evenly into 6 or 7 rounds.

3. Dust each one with flour and arrange on a baking tray. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the burgers are slightly browned on top.

4. To make the lemon sour cream, squeeze half a lemon into a bowl and add the sour cream. Season to taste.

5. Wash the salad and toss it in lemon juice and chilli flakes.

I made up this recipe although it is based on other ideas.
