Happy birthday Els... Some chocolate cookies for your birthday, I thought about sending them to you, but I am afraid the postie might eat them. :D

Hi folks, is Els's birthday today, and here I wish her a wonderful day ahead... she has tons of things going on at the moment, so here I also wish her all the best and hope everything go smoothly.

Choc-chip cookies

Ingredient:

- 150g (6 oz) of plain flour
- 50g (2 oz) of caster sugar
- 100g (4 oz) of butter
- 150g of choc-chips

Preparation:

Rubbing in all of the ingredient into a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and the butter together, Rub the mixture between your thumb and fingertips until it looks like breadcrumbs, then you squeeze it together to make a ball of dough. Pinch off little lumps of dough and roll them to the size of a ping-pong ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet, leaving the room for them to spread when they cook, press flat with a fork or even used your thumb instead to press them down. Set the oven 170 C or 325 F, bake for 15-20mins, cool them on the rack and wolah there you go, cookies to eat.

Alternative you can always add in chocolate chips (or white choc-chip, raison, fairy dust...anything you like really) at the last stage which is when you squeeze them to make a dough, it will become choc-chip cookies

Nothing much done to the shot, took it in my kitchen with those natural light came from outside the windows.

You are excellent at these cake photos. If they taste as good as they look they must be absolutely yummy!

I like the colours, they really pop in your face. The sharpness and depth of field is great as well.

Great shot!

Cheers,

What's happening here, did I miss my own birthday cake?? By the looks of it it still is very tasty - so I enjoy it even after weeks -
Sweety you could have contacted me. At that time my head was a real mess, trying to organise the wedding and the day before my birthday I wheeled the bed of my son in law to the operating theatre for an acute appendicitis.

You know what I can enjopy it even more now I am relaxed and all ended well.

Huge big hug,

Els

PS You can give Otto some..
