Cheerio Cookies!

Hi everyone! Today, mum and I did some more baking (we bake a lot in this house). I thought I'd share with you the recipe I used to make some Cheerio Cookies! They are delicious and I hope you make them yourself. 

Ingredients:

• 100g Margarine
• 100g sugar
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup
• 175g self raising flour
• 30g Cheerios or any other cereal you like!

 Pre-heat your oven to 160 degrees Celcius/140 fan oven. 

Cream together the margarine, sugar and golden syrup until smooth. 

Add the self raising flour and mix in to the butter mixture. 

Combine the cereal with the cookie mix until fully mixed together.

Use a dessert spoon to put on to a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. 

And the finished product should look something like this. Decorate with some chocolate chips if you want, depending on personal taste. 

The cookies should be crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. A tip on how to do this well is to take the trays out of the oven after around 10 minutes of baking and hit on the side of a work surface or on the oven shelf. This makes them even softer in the middle and improves the texture :)

Hope you like them! They are so easy to make and it's good to get everyone involved. The recipe makes around 20 cookies. Let me know what you think!
