I am no good baking so i decided to buy a ready made mix and have a go at making some cookies one day. Id been to pizza hut the day before and had there amazing hot cookie dough with ice cream desert. It was absolutely gorgeous! Hot cookie dough was what i wanted to make when i bought this mixture from tescos. The mixture cost me around 75p, which i thought was a bargain! You get a lot more cookies from this mixture than you do a ready made pack of cookies for that price. To make the hot cookie dough, i greased two porcelain bowls and started to make the mixture. It couldnt have been easier, all you need to do is add is 25grams of butter, which i ...  Read the complete review

Whilst on holiday in Canada and Alaska I sampled some delicious Cookies. I have recipes to make them but somehow they never seem as good as those we had abroad so decided to try a packet mix as my daughter said they were really good. Not a big deal you may think but as I trained in Catering and am a Judge in Baking for the Women's Rural I rarely buy a packet mix, it goes against all I do! The Packet The packet has a purple background and a large picture of several cookies. It says Tesco Choc chip cookie mix, the "i" in mix being a wooden spoon, quite eye catching really and the details of each cookie's calories etc are given at the ...  Read the complete review

This box of chocolate chip cookie mix costs 77 pence and makes 6 reasonably sized cookies, a little larger in diameter than a digestive but slightly thinner (we actually made 7) The mix contains flour, sugar, chocolate chunks and vegetable oil along with raising agents and emulsifiers but no nuts although predictably they cannot guarantee the ingredients are nut free although the factory they are made in doesn't handle nuts so we judged them safe enough to try in this nut-allergy household. How to make them? You just add dry contents of the packet to a bowl with 25g of softened butter and a couple of tablespoons of water and then mix ...  Read the complete review

The summer holidays are upon us, and parents the country over are looking for cheap and easy ways to keep children of all ages from uttering (or should it be whining?) those popular words "Muuuuum, I'm sooooo booooooored". Now, I happen to believe that boredom is a good thing. It encourages children to make their own entertainment, to think for themselves and to push their own boundaries, and as long as measures are in place to ensure that safety doesn't go completely out of the window (I'm all for kids climbing trees and the risk that it involves, but I'm not so keen on playing chicken on the railway line.....) I feel that parents should allow ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix costs just 77p for a box of cookie mix that will make six big, delicious home made cookies. They're not the same as doing it yourself no, but they do taste pretty fantastic and the oven-warmth they come out of the cooker with is what gives them a real home made taste. This is a great idea for an activity to do with little kids. Inside the box, there's just one single packet of mix with all the ingredients included inside the see-through plastic bag. So you can start by snipping the top off, and letting your little helper assist you in pouring the mixture into the bowl. Then you just add 25g of butter (or I find ...  Read the complete review
