Bought this “Jamie’s Red Nose Recipes” book for Comic Relief in 2009 and the first recipe in it is the “Any-way-you-like cookies” recipe, a very lazy recipe indeed but I managed to make it even more lazy
!
There are basically just 3 steps:
1. Mix all the basic ingredients (115g soften butter, 100g plain flour, 100g golden caster sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt) and “your way” ingredients well in the a food processor (“my way” ingredient is cocoa powder)
2. (My enhanced lazy version of the second step) Use two spoons to make little balls of dough and place onto a piece of cling film on a tray, cover the whole thing with another piece of cling film, use your fingers to flatten the dough balls between the 2 sheets of cling film and place the whole tray into the freezer for 20 mins.
3. Bake in the oven for 8 mins under 180*C. Place on a wire rack to cool till crisp.
Easy and yummy
