Hello from the other side of Year 3 Semester 1!
Amidst the university intensity (*cough* Evidence Law *cough*) I�ve been pretty amazed at how fast the last half of the year has passed � did someone say Christmas?
On Monday, I was feeling some festive post-exam baking and remembered that I had a box of cookie-mix in my pantry.� I used the White-Wings Choc-Chip Cookie pack.
[Note: I�m still on the hunt for the ultimate quick and easy box of goodness but at the moment Betty Crocker is still my #1 pick.]
Choc-Chip Cookie mixes are my go-to when I feel like
Baking with certainty of outcome; and Spicing up a simple recipe.
Usually, in goes:
{1 Box of Choc-Chip Cookie Mix} {5 Tbsp of Melted Butter/Coconut Oil} {1 Egg�or�Milk/Water}Add-Ins for the Day:
{Oat Bran} {Raisins} {Pinch of Sea-Salt before Baking}I love adding in Oats or Oat Bran to give cookies an extra chew and it balances off the sweetness and butter rather well.� Also� I can�t go on enough about the health benefits of oats which seem to be amassing, especially when it comes to incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into our daily diets.
I�ll admit that boxed mixes aren�t necessarily the healthiest cookie components but they remind me of childhood and uber delicious� so I�m just going to live a little ;).
[Tip: If you�re looking for a crispy edges but chewy centre vibe then flatten the dough before baking and bake for 3-5 mins longer than directed]
Happy festive baking!!
