Some people get their kicks from a cheeky cocktail, others from a gin or a whisky chaser but not us, no ladies and gentlemen in our house we get our kicks from Cravendale. Yes, there is nothing like a big ol’ glass of the white stuff to get Baby firing on all cyclinders. Milk drinking is where it’s at people!
We take our milk drinking seriously too. Well you have to, it’s very important business.
Baby likes to ensure she has some Cravendale handy at all times and she loves to drink it while……… trying to spot sheep…….
While riding Sali the pony……. Well riding is VERY thirsty work!
and even when in the bath……..
Although she enjoys the taste of Cravendale everywhere we go, she enjoys it best of all when we have it with a homemade chocolate chip cookie, well who wouldn’t?! So we decided to make some to accompany her Cravendale.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
-
- 280g plain flour
-
- 1 tsp baking powder
-
- 2 tsp cornflour
-
- ½ tsp salt
-
- 170g cup brown sugar
-
- 100g cup granulated sugar
-
- 170g butter, melted and cooled
-
- 2 large eggs
-
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
-
- 175g milk chocolate chips
- 90g white chocolate chips
What we did!
-
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cornflower and salt.
-
- In a separate bowl, beat together the cooled melted butter and the sugars with a hand mixer for about one minute. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
-
- Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix briefly, just until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
-
- Cover and pop in the fridge for 30 minutes.
-
- Preheat the oven to 160/170 degrees, making sure you have the racks in the middle of the oven.
-
- Scoop ¼ cup of dough at a time and roll into balls. Place on a baking sheet with baking paper on it, leaving room for the cookies to spread a fair bit.
-
- Bake for about 12 minutes, turn the tray half-way through. Keep checking them as cooking time will depend on your oven, but they want to be just browning on the edges and still looking soft in the middle. Let them cool on the baking sheets until the cookies are firm enough to remove. Then move to a rack to cool properly.
- Repeat with remaining batches, until all your dough is gone. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!
When I asked Baby why she loves Cravendale so much, she said it was ‘delicious, tasty and delicious’. Well you know what they say, out of the mouth of babes!
After Baby had drunk ALL the milk, we were left with some empty cartons. We set to work transforming one into a bird feeder for Baby’s little garden. Have a look at the little video I made.
Do you love milk? Where do you drink your Cravendale?
