My Cookie Experiment

For this experiment I decided to use Betty Crocker's Chocolate Cookie Mix, it's super simple and you only have to add water.

The generic instructions; Pour the mixture into a bowl and add 30ml of water (2 tablespoons),
Mix,
Put on a baking tray,
Cook,
However I always find that 30ml is never enough, so add more if you find there are still a few crumbs have a little freestyle boogie by their self.

Then it's time to get your hands dirty and start moulding your cookies. (You should also grease the tray)


Now here's the experimental part, I had the ingenious idea of putting other sweet things inside the cookies - I know this has been done before and don't claim to be the original genius. :P
Yes, I did put a cube of jelly inside some cookie mix XD. Although I have know idea why I thought it would work, because I tried to put jam in the middle of the bread I made in Year 4 and it went horribly wrong and just sort of exploded. But we'll see...

 They went in the oven, at 170°c (fan oven) for 8-10 minutes.

cooking,
cooking,
cooking,
cookie,

Yep, you guessed it the jelly exploded in the tray.

 Although some jelly managed to stay inside and made the cookie extra chewy, nom, nom, nom.


The dark chocolate - mmmmmmmm, being wrapped in cookie dough turned this bitter square of 70% dark chocolate into a sweet baked slab of goodness.

And my favourite - that I will definitely be making again - the milk chocolate. 
This. Just. Worked.


Cookies make everyone feel better, so cook a bunch (with some experimenting) and spread some love!

Stay Excellent

I Want To Read More This Year!!

I want to read more this year! I want to write and I want to create! But mainly I want to read; time completely ran away from me at the end of last year and throughout January. And its definitely a goal this year to find the perfect balance between all the areas I want my life to be thriving on. Unfortunately I'm not blessed with the mental pragmatism of having one passion in life, my mind thrives on the thoughts of eight, if not more, ideas all at once and I've yet to create the perfect plan to work on all of them equally. But this is the year! So future Chantal I hope you're reading this back and thinking to yourself - YES! I did it! I worked it out! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

Lush Review - Yoga Bath Bomb

Image
I give you the Yoga Bomb!  Step 1: Run a bath  Step 2: Drop bath bomb  Step 3: Watch  Step 3 and a half: Wait for the bomb to dissolve fully  Step 4: Photograph  Step 5: 'Ooohh' at the newly revealed colours  Step 6: Stare at the new glittery colour your bath water has turned  Step 7: 'Oooohh' some more  Step 8: Relax and indulge So this bath bomb wasn't (in my opinion) anything special. Yes the colours were pretty and the glitter was cool, but as for aroma - there was little to none, so I didn't find it anymore relaxing than a normal bath. Well, except the fact that I was bathing in liquid that was a very impressive pigmented orange colour (I did fear I might step out of the bath and have to scrub off the pigment that had attached itself to my skin; luckily this was not the case.).  On first impressions this bath bomb gave the water an immediate sort of slimey feel which thankfully subs...
