Cookie recipe!
Tweet
I wanted to write something today. I wasn't sure what, only that I wanted to write. Given it's now 4pm and I'm absolutely shattered, I've decided to do something a little different. A very late night involving air hockey, arcade games, pool and wandering around London until 3am left me with a craving for peanut butter cookies, so I decided to make some...and share the recipe. Enjoy!
This recipe makes 10 cookies. Half or double the amounts to make 5 or 20. I'm sure you can work the maths out for yourself.
Preheat the oven to 190°c and lightly grease a baking tray.
Mix 60g butter with 75g peanut butter. Mix well!
Add 115g granulated sugar. Again, mix well.
Stir in 75g plain flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder.
By this point the mixture will be quite dry and look like crumbs. Stir in a few splashes of milk until it binds together.
When you have a wet (but not sloppy) consistency, spoon balls of the mixture onto the baking tray.
Bake for 15 minutes, and hey presto! Yummy cookies!

Brand new site!
Tweet
I finally got fed up of the limited templates offered by my previous website provider, and took the plunge into personal webspace yesterday. I bought my domain name, set up an email address, and cobbled up a site in Dreamweaver. My blog is still my main point of focus, but at least now I have somewhere to host those stories that I haven't been able to place. There are currently six stories, ranging in length, available for free for you to check out!
Feel free to check it out here, and you can always send me an email at icy [at] icysedgwick [dot] com. (Writing the address like that stops spam spiders finding it and sending me junk. Useful tip!) Let me know what you think!
As an aside, the photo at the top of this entry is one of my own. So I don't just write, I do photomanipulations and graphics as well!!
