Tesco Choc Chip Cookie Mix

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

I love chocolate chip cookies so every now and then so I make sure that I always keep a mix in the cupboard for those days when I just need a bit of TLC and some nice smelling cookies to cheer me up! These cookies are very simple to mix requiring just some added butter, a mixing bowl, a wooden spoon and some hard work giving them a good mix.

I find that each batch of cookies take a varying amount of cooking time so I ...  Read the complete review

I have a sweet tooth and often in an evening or on a Saturday afternoon I feel I would like a cake or a biscuit with my cup of tea. If I don't have anything in the house it means popping out to our local coffee-shop and buying one of their delicious chocolate brownies or traybakes but as nice as this is its also quite expensive. Although I love baking sometimes I don't have any eggs in the house or just want something quickly so whilst doing the online shopping recently and having read a few reviews of cake mixes I thought I would maybe try one. I have never bought a cake or biscuit mix before so I bought a couple of different ones to give them a try. One of 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
