Directions
This pan baked cookie is a one pan recipe and a great alternative to having to make a birthday cake, you can even decorate it so it is not just a cookie; it can be personalised to that person. This recipe is really good because it gives you 2 times you can bake it on depending if you want it as a soft gooey cookie or more of a firmer cookie with a crunch. This cookie will keep in a sealed tin up to 7 days, making it a sweet snack you know you will have there whenever you fancy it.

Lightly butter a 25cm ovenproof frying pan. Spoon in and flatten the cookie mixture. For a gooey dessert, bake for 20 mins, leave to rest for 5 mins, then scoop straight from the pan and serve with ice cream, if you like. For a firmer cookie you can cut, bake for 30 mins, then leave to cool completely before cutting into wedges. |
