Blogmas #8 | RECIPE - Chocolate Oat Cookies

I thought I would share with you another cookie recipe. This one happens to be my favourite. It is a recipe by a lady called Ruth of ThePinkWhisk.co.uk.

Ingredients
110g Softened Butter
110g Caster Sugar
85g Light Soft Brown Sugar
150g Plain Flour
180g Rolled/Porridge Oats
200g Chocolate (chopped into small chunks) or Chocolate Chips
1 Large Egg
½ tsp of Baking Powder
½ tsp of Bicarbonate of Soda
¼ tsp of Salt
½ tsp of Vanilla Extract

Method
1.    Preheat your oven to 190°c (fan) | 200°c | Gas Mark 5

2.    Line your baking tray/s with non-stick baking paper.

3.    In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter, caster sugar and light soft brown sugar with a wooden spoon.

4.    Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.

5.    Now mix in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.

6.    Now add in the rolled/porridge oats and mix again.

7.    Finally add in the chocolate and mix well.

8.    Now roll the dough, by hand into 1½ inch balls and place them on the baking tray, well-spaced apart, as the dough will flatten and expand whilst in the oven. The dough should make approximately twenty-four cookies.

9.    Bake them in the oven for 8 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

10. When baked, remove them from the oven and leave them to cool for 5 minutes and then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Will you be using this recipe to make some delicious cookies?

Perfume Power! - Christina Aguilera 'Woman'

I decided to buy this perfume as it was on my test list on Fragrantica and I saw it for a decent price. I have been struggling to find places to buy perfume samples lately, so I took a gamble and bought the smallest bottle size I could. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle is made of glass and kind of an hourglass shape, just like some of Christina’s other perfumes. It has a yellow gold flower design on the thinnest part of the bottle and Christina’s name is printed in hot pink and the perfume name printed in yellow gold. It also has yellow gold banding around the neck for the cap to sit on. The cap is clear plastic and kind of diamond shaped. It has a slight yellow gold spritzer to dispense the scent. On the outer cardboard box it had this description; “A sensual combination of golden amber and white flowers - radiating femininity the way a woman does”. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Litchi & Pear Middle Notes: Magnol...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
