3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with pan release. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla. Combine the flour and baking soda and stir into the sugar mixture. Do not over beat as this will cause the cookies to be tough. Fold in white chocolate chips, cranberries and nuts.

Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before placing them on a cooling rack.

Flapjacks

Being an American living in England I have a few things that I really love from England and will definitely take with me when I do eventually move back home. One of those things is Flapjacks. I love them. They make such a nice healthy snack too (Unless you put chocolate on top or in them, which I do A LOT!) Anyway here is a really good recipe. They are so easy to make!



1 cup Butter (not margarin)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
4 Tablespoons Golden Syrup or Honey
2 cups oats

Melt the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup or honey together. Add oats and pour into an 8x8" pan bake at 320 for40 - 45 minutes. Let cool for at least an hour before serving as it will be extremely hot! I sometimes melt chocolate and pour it over the top. Or alot of times I will chop up some of my favorite nuts and add them as well as some dried fruit. Berries are the best in my opinion! Plus with the fruit and nuts it is definitely more healthy. These are delish!!

Chocolate Chip and Banana Cookies

All I can say is Mmmmmmm. These are so Delicious!

Ingredients:

1/3 c. butter, softened

1/2 c sugar

1 egg

1/2 c mashed ripe bananas

1/2 t. vanilla

1 c. flour

1 t baking powder

1/4 t salt

1/8 t baking soda

1 c chocolate chips (I prefer Milk Chocolate Chips)

In a small mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, banana and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; gradually add to the wet mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. The dough is very stick so refrigerate for 1 hour. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 9 - 11 minutes. or until the edges are lightly browned. DONT OVER BAKE!! I always double the batch because it doesnt make a huge batch and they go so fast!

Honest these are so great! Try them then leave a comment to let me know what you think!!
