During lockdown CB and I indulged in some fun baking. We were inspired by this recipe on YouTube, and so decided to make our own version and film the process!

Since then, we have had another go at our recipe, and both times we have ended up with yummy scrummy cookies. It really is an easy-to-follow, fool-proof recipe, and a great way of introducing the joy of baking to little ones.
