Blogmas day 3- Christmas cookie recipe.

Hello so today I'm going to be telling you how to make your own Christmas cookies!

This recipe makes 30 cookies and take about 15 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

150g salted butter

80g light brown muscovado sugar

80g granulated sugar 

2 tsp vanilla extract 

1 large egg

225g plain flour

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1/4 tsp salt

200g chocolate chips (optional)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
2. Put the butter and sugars into a bowl and beat until creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg. Sieve the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt over the mixture and mix in with a wooden spoon. Add the chocolate chips and stir well.
3. Using a teaspoon, place small mounds of the mixture well apart on the baking trays or shape then into Christmas shapes.. Bake in the oven for 8–10 mins until light brown on the edges and still slightly soft in the centre.
4. Leave on the tray for a couple of minutes to firm up and then transfer to a cooling rack.
   
   
   Then decorate.
   
   
   For decoration you could make your own icing from icing sugar and water or you could use fondant icing.
