So we came down with COVID-19 and had some time to cook and bake at home. We also watched a lot of magic school bus from the good old days of PBS.
But here's a super easy recipe I found from the BBC one day when I ran out of eggs and our food/grocer delivery was running a bit slow.
https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/user/4592506/recipe/egg-free-cookies
Ingredients: (Makes around 24 cookies)
125g (about 1 cup) butter or pure vegetable margarine, softened
125g (about 1 cup) caster sugar or regular sugar or even brown sugar will work too
1 tsp vanilla essence or extract
200g (about 2 cups) self-raising flour or all purpose flour will work to
1 tsp baking powder/soda
1 tbsp water, for some reason, I always need to do like 6 tbsp of milk or soymilk
Optional: 2 tbsp coco powder (to make it chocolate)
Optional : milk chocolate chips or milk chocolate cut into chips or 2 oreos
STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C ,350°F or gas mark 4.
STEP 2
Cream the butter and sugar together(with a wooden spoon) in a large bowl until light, fluffy and golden.
STEP 3
Stir everything together (vanilla, flour, baking powder and chocolate chips or oreos, add the water and the Coco powder) to make the yummy dough.
STEP 4
Sprinkle some flour onto a surface and the dough. Roll out the dough and with cookie cutters cut out the shapes and lay them out onto greased, lined baking sheets. Spacing them well apart.
STEP 5
Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
This recipe is super easy and forgiving. There's another version I'm thinking of trying also here:
