Chewy white chocolate & cinnamon cookies

Made these delicious white chocolate chip & cinnamon cookies on Saturday with the help of my 3 year old. They were so easy to make and made the kitchen smell really Christmassy.

White chocolate chip & cinnamon cookies

The recipe said 100g of white chocolate chips but I probably only put in about 70g - just cause that was looking enough - and they worked out just right.

The one thing I have to remind myself when cooking biscuits is that they always look a bit under cooked when they come out of the oven. I'm often tempted to leave them in the oven a bit longer but if I do they become too hard when cooled!

Baking....marble cake & cookies

My husband has recently got into cooking, and in particular baking. I don't know quite what happened...we've been together over 10 years and previously he's never showed any interest in the kitchen.

Then a few months ago, I went out to the gym one evening leaving him at home watching a TV cookery programme. And he caught the cooking bug which I didn't think could happen from the TV.

His cooking adventure is slightly curbed by lack of time but at the weekend he does try to make a least one thing.
