Tanya Burr Cookies - Daisy Beauty Bakes♡

Tanya Burr, Britain's beloved beauty blogger has recently released 'Love Tanya', a book about lifestyle, love and everything in between!

The book features not only beauty tips, style guides & a view of her early years but multiple recipes; from Smartie Flapjacks to Healthy Winter Soup. We decided to bake the Milk & White Chocolate Cookies, Tanya's favourite! Here's how we got on...

We followed the recipe step by step, but for some people the chocolate content may be a bit too rich. The recipe also works well if you half all the ingredients. We used two large 200g bars of milk & white chocolate, but chocolate buttons or chips work well too. Other options could include dark chocolate chunks or chips, which we have also experimented with for a slightly lower sugar content.

You will need:

200g Butter

300g Caster Sugar

1 Large Egg

325g Self Raising Flour

200g White Chocolate

200g Milk Chocolate

(Optional) - A dash of milk

The recipe is fairly simple & traditional, but you get much more than the ten cookies stated in the book. It also comes down to portion sizes, we found using a smaller amount of dough on the tray makes them spread & size much easier.

Here's a shorter version of the recipe;

• Start by pre heating your oven to 200°c. Whisk the melted butter and sugar together until blended.

• Crack the egg and mix it in. Gradually add the flour, while continuously mixing it all together. The mixture should start to form together and look like cookie dough. This is when you need to add the milk if it's too dry and mix that in.

• Break up the chocolate into small chunks, or add the buttons/chips to the mixture. Once they are spread evenly through the dough, grab it from underneath and start shaping the mixture into small balls. 

• Place them evenly on the baking tray (covered in greaseproof paper) and make sure there is space in between for them to spread during baking. We could fit about six small balls on the tray with a reasonable amount of room.

• The recipe says 10-12 minutes, but we found baking for 8 minutes gave a better texture and time to cool. They will be slightly undercooked, but cooling will finish the baking process.

• Leave them on the cooling tray until ready, once done they should be gooey on the inside, but crispy & hard on the outside. Enjoy!

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed both the baking process..and the cookies! The recipe was fun and enjoyable for all ages, so why don't you take some time out & give it a go!
