Coming up with what cookies to make was tricky, there was
just too many inspirational pins on Pinterest! In the end, after a very busy
and stressful week at work, I needed something quick and easy but deliciously
yummy. These did not disappoint.
I made cookies for Helen at Casa Costello, and after
stalking her blog/twitter/Instagram I could see she had three lovely daughters,
so two batches of cookies were made. Baileys and Chocolate for the adults, and
Chocolate Chip & Marshmallow for the kids. The recipes for both can be
found below.
I know they don’t look the prettiest, compared to some of
the others in the exchange (time wasn’t on my side) but I’m hoping the taste of
them made up for this.
I absolutely loved my cookies that I got sent from Lucy at
Baking Queen, they were beautifully packaged and tasted gorgeous. You can find the recipe for hers here.
Baileys & Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipe
Makes 8
37g soft brown sugar
45g caster sugar
125g dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 egg, beaten
65g unsalted butter
110g self raising flour
2 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
Chocolate Chip & Marshmallow Cookies Recipe
Makes 8
37g brown sugar
45g caster sugar
50g chocolate chips
1/2 egg, beaten
64g unsalted butter
110g self raising flour
50g mini marshmallows
Method
Preheat the oven to 180c and grease and line two baking trays
Beat together the sugar and butter until creamed, add the egg and beat in until thick and combined (if making the Baileys option add this in now)
Stir in the self raising flour, along with the chocolate chunks/chips and marshmallows if using until a thick cookie dough forms
Take parts of the dough and roll into a small ball, around the size of a walnut, squishing down the top slightly and place on the baking tray. Leave enough room for them to expand in the oven.
Bake for 10 minutes
Leave to cool and firm up slightly before transferring to a wire rack

Those look so tasty, I am sure Helen loved receiving them! Glad to hear you enjoyed the ones I sent you too :-) Lovely photos too.
