I'm a mum and a recentlyish new one... I have two kids, miss boo who recently turned 2, and bee two who will be 1 this month... I also run a little Facebook business called miss boo and bee two. Totally not food related :)
So on this rainy saturday afternoon whilst miss boo and bee two had their synchronized arvo nap, I read my friends blog (misadventures of a sahm) and looked at the great fun (and mess) that her and Miss S get into... An it inspired me to do some cookin with Miss Boo...
So I ask her what shall we cook.
Her response. Chocolate. Well since I don't have a cocoa tree growing in the backyard and we are not going on a Dora style adventure to pick some from the chocolate tree I compromise to chocolate biscuits...
We each made our own batch. Mine were chocolate biscuits with white choc chips. Miss boo chose hundreds and thousands and rainbow choc chips.
I followed the recipe. Miss Boo got creative. And damn did her biscuits taste awesome! They are a short walk down sugar street to sickly sweet city but I was so pleasantly impressed I proceeded to add hundreds and thousands to mine ;)
Recipe is:
Beat 125g soft butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup caster sugar
Add one teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Then mix 1 1/2 cups sr flour and 1/2 cup cocoa... Mix it all good and throw in whatever additions you wish. I highly suggest hundreds and thousands!!!
Spoon dessert spoon size portions onto a tray lined with baking paper and Bake at 160 for 12 mins or so
Anyhow just a quick one from me this afternoon, we are off to lizottes to see Troy Cassar-Daley! :) it also means my MIL gets some yummy cookies to eat with her cuppa while she watches the kidlets!
We'll be back soon with Bee Two's birthday and the mess two sisters can cause in my tiny kitchen!
See you soon at the no mofos my kitchen!
Luv crittle xx
