What always bothered me about him though, was how he never actually ate any. The crumbs would just fly everywhere, falling to the floor, uneaten. What a waste.
I love cookies in all shapes and sizes, with all different toppings, nuts and other adornments. As a child I looked forward to going to the shops to get a foil bag of Cookie Man brandy snaps, fresh off the conveyor belt to devour!
Here is a basic cookie recipe, one that you can add whatever you like to at the end. Chocolate chips - milk, dark, white, sprinkles, m&m's, crushed nuts... you could even drizzle melted chocolate over the tops after baking!
COOKIES
Cream together an entire block of butter, with 1 cup caster sugar and 1 cup dark brown sugar
Add 2 eggs, one at a time and 2 tsp vanilla extract
Dissolve 1 tsp baking soda in 2 tsp hot water then add to mix
Gradually add 3 cups of plain flour
At this stage fold in whatever additions you desire - I used the small amount of chocolate chips I had left in the pantry

Drop onto a lined baking tray with a spoon and don't aim for perfection!
