For Two Small Cookies...

"Yesterday I was struck with a baking urge but didn't want lots of cake/cookies/muffins lying around the house, waiting to fatten me up. So I made just two cookies! The whole recipe can made in a teacup (I used a plastic one). Feel free to double ,triple , quadruple the recipe without changing the time and temperature - I didn't change it from the recipe I adapted this from, and that was for 100 cookies."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
  • Cream butter and sugar together - don't bother using a mixer , I just used a teaspoon.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Mix in flour, muesli and salt. If the mixture gets dry , add the water.
  • Add the raisins.
  • Roll into two small balls and place two inches apart on a piece of baking paper (a tray seemed too big). Flatten slightly with fork.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Leave for two minutes,then cool.

  1. These were really great made exactly as written - except be sure to flatten the balls down to a cookie shape. I made them a few times, and they didn't flatten on their own. Also, the cookies weren't that small... ;-) For my first attempt, I did it as written, except since my muesli had lots of fruit in it, I subbed chocolate chips for the raisins. I baked these as balls. Two things - they never flattened, and they didn't cook through. And, surprisingly, I did not like the flavor of the chocolate chips in there at all. (Although, it might be good with oats subbed for the muesli also.) I also tried a batch with cinnamon - also good, but not better, IMHO, than the plain ones. Good recipe, NOOBchef, plus GREAT concept!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/258867/IMG_0034.JPG Me at Christmas , eyeing the mince pies , muaharhar. I'm sixteen years old and love to cook. Seriosuly , I always bug my mum when she's coming home - " Can I boil an egg ? Do you want me to put on the pasta ? " etc - and I have little tradition where I cook a complete dinner once a fortnight. Thats' generally what I review recipes for as I don't get a chance to cook the rest of the time :( Since I live in Hong Kong, I don't have access to a lot of the stuff most Recipezaar-ers in the US do , so I spend a lot of time filtering out refrigerated buttermilk biscuits , frozen pie shells, pastry flour and all those instant mixes >< Its' not just that I live in Hong Kong though , my pantry (physically impossible in a two-bedroom flat, but there in mind and spirit) is small. What I always have in the kitchen : plain flour, self-raising flour, sugar, cocoa, pasta, canned beans, canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, garlic, onion, some kind of cheese, low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk, water, frozen berries, muesli. I guess a love of food is born in as I'm half-Italian. I go to Sicily every summer and its so different from here - there is this ...respect for food. I LOVE IT The other half of me has an ex-baking grandma ( she stopped after she had no-one to fatten up ) and I think I got a bit of that too , I absolutely ADORE making cakes, cookies,muffins but I hate having them around the house . I mulled over the idea of selling my baked stuff but in the end decided I'd probably get arrested for hawking and no-one would know what I was doing anyway. My rating system - ***** Perfect. this is for whatever the recipe claims to be, i.e. if a recipe a simple,quick, economic stew I won't give it *** for not being finicky or delicate. These are often foolproof, too :) **** Almost perfect, but there was something missing. *** All right . Not a bad recipe, but I didn't like it. ** Not enjoyable, but with some spark or facet with merit. * Godawful.
