Love being in the kitchen with my girls it is such a pleasure to have some girly time chatting and baking, how could i not love being in the kitchen when both my girls are just so lovely i want to gobble them both up, even with Sophie wearing her scary Grufflo suit. Well Valentines is fast approaching and we wanted to make an after school treat of some home made jammie dodgers but with a difference of being heart shaped and completely over the top with glitter i have to say i think i need to improve my photo skills for the love of trying i could not get the glitter to twinkle as it did in real life. I even went outside at one point to try and get shots with more sparkle but alas these will have to do
Sophie is getting so good in the kitchen that she is sharing what she knows to her little sister Ella and even lets her have a go to although i can already see there will be fights over who gets the whisk
our cookie dough recipe
350g plain flour
100g self raising
120g caster sugar
120g butter
120g golden syrup
1 egg
Sift all dry ingredients add the butter and rub together
add syrup and egg bring together as a dough
roll out i do this in between cling film and make 2 flat circles and chill before cutting
once cut cook for 14 min at 170c
we made a plum and cranberry jam if you want to find out about making your own plum jam find my recipe
here
once the cookies are cool and the jam warm just add a blob in between two cookies and gently push together when the jam cools these will set the cookies together. we also made a icing glaze and brushed this on top of the cookies and then went to town with the red glitter and we added some firmer icing dots and squiggles for decoration
they look so pretty and i love that both girls are helping in the kitchen now - so cute x
