These are my favourite cookies – they are so easy to make, and even easier to eat.
This recipe is taken from More from Magnolia – just one of the fantastic baking books to come out of the amazing Magnolia Bakery in New York City. I mostly use baking books from America, and the great thing about this one is that it has UK measurements in each recipe – so you don’t have to figure out the conversion from cups each time you bake something!

My favourite bit…
7. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto baking trays – make sure you leave several centimetres for the cookies to expand.
8. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden. When out of the oven allow to cool completely.
Et Voila!
I decided to put these ones into small kilner jars, as I had been dying to use the Freshly Baked Treat Kit I had bought the week before from Meri Meri…
Their paper products are so beautifully designed, I find myself baking just so I can use them.
Ready to share!
Now…all thats left to do is enjoy the fruits of your labour! Baking really is the best hobby of all.
