Cookies With Love from Greens & LOTS Of Fun! #review

When I was offered a box of bake your own cookies from Greens to make with Kieran, I jumped at the chance! We love cooking & baking together and this kit is just so easy that nothing can go wrong.

Or so I thought!

Take one Cookies With Love kit - RRP £1.69 and available in Asda & Co-op
Add one mischievous four year old
Let said 4yr old open the kit which contains cookie mix, icing mix, blackcurrant decorating gel & a heart shaped cutter which you can of course keep and reuse!
Ask 4yr old to CAREFULLY tip the contents of the cookie mix packet into a bowl, NOT all over the side!
Add softened butter and mix, then add 2.5 teaspoons (yes teaspoons, not cupfuls) & mix to form a dough.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface until approx 5mm thick
Use the included heart cutter to make 6 biscuits
Place on a baking tray
Bake for 7-8min at 190degress / Gas mark 5

THEN it all goes a bit wrong!

 

See the mischief? We got the giggles!

You are supposed to edge the cooled biscuits with the blackcurrant gel, then carefully drizzle the icing into the outline, cool then decorate with more of the blackcurrant in the pen.

Nope…

WE JUST GOT SILLY!!

We made a right mess, icing everywhere (including my hair!). But you know what… it was the most fun we’ve had in AGES!

Fortunately someone less easily led than me made a proper job….

On the upside:

 

They taste just fine!

A kit like this would make a fantastic addition to any Mum’s spoiling on Mother’s Day but would be just as great for birthdays, special events or just for everyday fun! We didn’t produce bakery grade biscuit, our decoration was um less than professional but we had a great time and that’s the best Mother’s Day gift I can think of… mischief, fun and then BISCUITS!

*We received a  Greens “Cookies With Love” kit to test and review, but my recommendation of this product is based on my personal experience of it. Also, Greens cannot in any way be held responsible for any mess you and your child may make whilst making these cookies.
