Tomi's condense milk, white chocolate and strawberry cookies

This post is dear to my heart as it features my daughter, Tomi's baking. 

My daughter is always around me in the kitchen and she's always wanting to bake or cook something so today I allowed her bake one of her favourite  yummy crunchy cookies. 

We both enjoyed every minute of it and it gave us time to bond while I shared some baking tips and insights with her. 

Proud momma here, I really felt so good watching her work, it's amazing how much they are capable of.

Parents, teaching your kids to be independent in the kitchen is really necessary. It's also a fun thing for them to do this long holiday. 

This recipe is not restricted to just white chocolate or strawberry.. I would recommend you let your imagination run wild 

Ingredients 

200g self raising flour 

100g butter

190ml condense milk

100g white chocolate 

100g strawberries 

100g sugar 

Step 1. Pour all ingredients into a large bowl.

Step 2. Combine gently, using your fingers...*avoid squashing the strawberries**

Step 3. When properly mixed, scoop little at a time into a greased floured tray, then bake for 29-25mins or until almost golden brown 

Tomi and mommy 100% enjoyed the process.

Watch out for more cooking and baking coming from her kitchen. Cheers

Preparation:- Time 8mins                                                                                                                                Baking time 15-18mins

Ingredients

*160g self raising flour (sifted)
*3 large eggs
*2 tbsp. milk
*1 tsp. vanilla
*12 medium cupcake cases

Method;

Step 1. Measure all the ingredients ahead.

                  

Step 2. Place the cupcake cases into a baking mould, as well as preheat your oven to 160-180 Celsius or gas mark 4 

Step 3. Start by combining the butter and sugar in a bow, using a electric mixer or whisk

Step 4. After 5 mins, start adding in the eggs 1 at a time... While still whisking on high speed;  you need to incorporate as much air as possible, because we want the cupcakes fluffy and bouncy.

Step 5.  Start adding in the flour; mixing gently using a wooden or a metal spoon as you don’t want to lose the air already incorporated into the mix.  then add in the vanilla extract and milk….

Step 6.. Scoop the mixture into the cupcake cases, making sure they are half filled. Then bake for 15-18 mins

Step 7. Oooops.. I had to try one out. Once baked, get the tray out of the oven.. Let the cupcakes rest, never decorated a warm cake or cupcakes.

Finally product.. all decorated and looking fabulous
