    cost 4p per generous cookie, but cheaper for us (2.5p) as the choc chips were on their way out when ISOM started her new healthy eating plan.:T

    p.s munchki, intrigued by your suggestion via PM, but can't reply for some strange reason! Will soon tho!

    cookie.jpg

    500g plain flour -12p
    180g sugar - 14p
    choc chips, 100g - 38p
    pat of butter 250g from asda this weekend folks!!!!- 50p

    breadcrumb together flour, sugar and butter. add a little water (approx 2 dessertspoons) or a splash of filter coffee to bring the mix together into a stiff dough. Press out into 2 baking trays to a thickness of half a centimetre. Press choc chips into the surface of the cookie.

    Bake for 20 mins at gas ark 4 (in my oven, probably less in yours, so keep checking!) Cut up while still warm, into 16 cookies per tray.

    Feed to a hubbie who's proved himself worthy this week!:D

    weezle, not to worry hon, thanks for letting me know!
    The cookies look fab btw....hmmmmmmm it is DOH bday on sunday...just wonder if he has really been that good tho!!!! lol teasing

    tea tonight here is as follows

    threw some leftover chicken and asparagus (last nights tea) and chopped up an onion and bunches of mushrooms that needed to be used up (froze the rest, lol never thought of that before)and a nice red pepper. cooked it all, then added a tin of cream of chicken soup and a veggie stock cube and some pepper.....will add a bit of sour cream (needs using up) to it later when I heat it up and serve over rice. Dont think it costs too much and had a little nibble and is lovely!

    Then off to see Wall-e at the cinema...........lol kids at heart

    piggy day 2 update:

    been cooking the half head carcass and bits left over from last night's very generously meaty meal all day in the slo-cooker and have just removed the bones. He's reducing down a bit now on the hob. Very excited about the pork pies he's going to produce! :T:T:T And that's just from half the head!

    I'm going to have the longer roasted meat cold tonight with salad. Mr Weezl fancies saag aloo.

    Another very cheap day in the weezl house, exact costings to follow!

    Ok you persuaded me!

    Salad and toms, home grown, the pork (I estimate this is about an eighth of the lovely meat you get off a pigs head:j) chutney from shaz- very lovely (her and the chutney!)

    Hoorah!
