GIANT COOKIES FOR KIDS!

RAB by RAB Crawling(December 2008) (rank 500+)

My grandchildren love the 'Giant Choc Chip Cookies' available through their school canteen but at $2.00 per cookie. My daughter and I couldn't justify the cost so found an alternative to make our own for only approximately 13 cents each!

This recipe makes on average 24 Giant Cookies and they

are so delicious. Each cookie is about 10-13cm in diameter. To further increase my savings I only use generic ingredients. Quite a saving from $2.00! If you don’t want to make the giant cookies then you will make a huge batch of smaller ones.
 
The recipe is as follows:-
 
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
250g margarine
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 packet choc chips
 
Method: Cream together white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and margarine. Add
eggs, self raising flour and choc chips and mix well. Leave for about 15
minutes before rolling into palm sized ball and then placing on Glad Bake (on
a tray). Cook at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 to 25 minutes.
 
Hint: After 12 minutes I swap the bottom and top trays around in the oven to
avoid the bottom tray of cookies burning and the grandkiddies complaining

They taste so yummy and keeps everyone happy with such special treats, especially when they are involved in the mixing and baking of them, they get so excited. Keeping them involved creates that special time for us all.

Re: GIANT COOKIES FOR KIDS!

Good idea it is just to expensive to buy biscuits these days and home cooking is always the best but watch out cause her friends will be wanting them too. My daughter often takes some for her friends and I am always getting requests but I love cooking them good to know they appreciate them. My sons freinds have all left school and I even get the odd request from them.

$2 per cookie! My son't canteen sells smaller ones for 10c each, but they modity the sugar content to meet the health standard.

I think home made food is a great alternative for the lunch box but still have to watch the sugar and fat content. At least you know what you've put in
