Cookie Monsters

One of the easiest Halloween baking activities you can do, quick and easy but looks impressive.    What do you need.........chocolate chip cookies and candy eyes.  Make chocolate chip cookies as normal, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly then the fun part add candy eyes to each cookie to create your own sweet cookie monster. The candy eyes come in a small or bulk pack.                         Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients150g Butter150g Soft Brown Sugar1 Egg1 Tsp Vanilla Extract250g Self Raising Flour250g Chocolate Chips   Method: Beat the butter and sugar together (either by hand or use an electric mixer it'll be quicker) till light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter/sugar mixture and combine. Next add in the self raising flour and chocolate chips, mix together till all combined. Line a cookie tray with parchment paper and using an ice cream scoop divide the dough. Depending what size of cookies you want by the size of scoop you use, regular or large. Allow the dough to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking. When ready to bake preheat the oven to 160C Place cookie dough on a cookie tray, allow a little bit of room between cookies as they will spread slightly when baked. Bake for 11 minutes, they'll be golden brown but still slightly soft in the centre. Remove the tray from the oven but leave the cookies on the tray to cool Allow to cool for 5 minutes before placing the candy eyes onto each cookie. Enjoy!
