I know that I’ve mentioned that last week was not a good week about a million times but there were some silver linings to the bad cloud I seemed to be carrying around with me. One of them was the finding the lost cookie recipe!

Quick, easy and you melt the butter so no need to wait for it to soften from the fridge.  I used to (and will be doing so from now on) to at 150g to 200g of whatever I fancied into the dough. My favourite was sultanas. Sometimes 150g sultanas and 75-ish g of oats. However, I’ve also made them with M&Ms, Rolos or whatever was on hand that needed using up, (glacé cherries and mini marshmallows were not a winning combination but the godchildren loved them!

For these made last Thursday, I dumped several boxes of the little snack packs from Sainsburys in, so they had nuts and dried fruit and all sorts of interesting things in them.

They were the perfect antidote to a bad week and surprisingly, I didn’t eat them all in one go for dinner and I still have some left but they really did cheer me up!
