The best Ginger cookies | BLOGMAS





BLOGMAS DAY 5
Being the baker in the family (currently studying it at college just saying) I go OTT with the baking, and the thing I love to bake the most are Ginger cookies. This is my favourite recipe ever and can go along way. (I got this recipe of Bakes by Steph)
You will need:
2-3 baking trays (or one and keep reusing that)
Rolling pin
parchment paper
Christmas cookie cutters
Ingredients:
300g Plain flour
125g Self raising flour
125g Sugar
125g Butter
125g Golden syrup
1 egg
2-3 tsp ginger
Icing (optional)
500g Icing sugar 
Few teaspoons of water 
Method
- Preheat your oven to 160 degrees.
- In a bowl pop in your plain flour, self raising flour, ginger and sugar and mix together.
- Next melt your butter down a little so it a bit softer (DO NOT FULLY MELT IT), make a well in the centre of your dry ingredients and add your butter, golden syrup and the egg.
-One all your ingredients are in you want to mix them all together, mix for about 5 minutes or until the ingredients come together as a dough. (You'll know it done when you can roll your dough into a ball)
- Get two pieces of parchment paper and place your dough onto one and cover it up with the other sheet, this is so your dough doesn't stick to the rolling pin, start rolling till your dough is about 1.5cm thick.
-Get your cookie cutter and start cutting out your shapes and place them on your baking tray lined with parchment paper, and let them cook for 12-15 minutes.
- Once out of the oven let them completely cool before doing anything with them.
-If you're icing them add a few teaspoons of water to the icing sugar till you have a pipable consistency or buy some icing pens form ASDA and outline what ever shape you've done. (I think white icing looks the best)
There are your delicious ginger cookies, If your giving them to friends or family or a neighbour get a cute box and place them in, tie it up with some ribbon and they will look perfect.

My comfort films

We all have them films that we watch when we need cheering up or that we just can't get enough of. Chicken run - Yes the Aardman animation about the chickens who wants to escape from Tweedy's farm. I have watched this film since it first came out and I'm very exited for the second film to come to Netflixs. It may be a kids film but it's brilliant. The Rocky Horror Picture Show - This is my favourite musical so I alway watch this at least once a month, I will always do the time warp and sing along at the top of my lungs. Not many people like this because they think it's weird but that just means they're boring. Heathers (but the non musical one) -  Made in 1988 starting a young Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. The main reason I like this is because JD (played by Christian Slater) reminds me of Aidan Gallagher (I have a bug crush on him). The way he speak and acts is just like him. Also, movies from the 80's are just amazing. BRATZ the movie - This was the f

Goodbye Summer

Image
Hello! I do apologies for my absence, I now work full time and I have had no time to write any summer blogpost. I'm not a very big fan of summer, don't get me wrong I love the sun and being able to wear my dresses but It's my least favourite season, so I'm glad we're saying goodbye to Summer.  This summer for me has honestly been so boring, I've worked practically every single day, I didn't do anything fun however, It was better then last summer because I wasn't heartbroken and crying most of the time. As we say goodbye to Summer we say hello to the best season Autumn! If you've been following me for a while, you will know I LOVE Autumn and unlike Summer I plan to make Autumn as jam packed as I can.  I'm exited for them crips Autumn mornings and the seasonal drinks. I'm exited for crunchy leafs and going conker picking. Halloween and bonfire night. So get them bikinis and dresses away and get out your wooly hats and scarfs out and say goodbye

Just wanna let this story die, and I'll be alright

 Yes, that title are lyrics from Ariana Grande's new song. Even though her song is about forgetting someone you loved, this blog post is about forgetting the past few months.   The past few months for me have just been AWFUL! I don't know if I'm the only one but I can't believe how much has gone wrong in so little time, I just wish the universe would just give me a break. I feel like I'm in a nightmare and I just can't wake up from it, and there just doesn't seem to be a light anymore.  Back in January I really started to hate my job, to the point before my shift I would cry in the car and on the way home I would bawl my eyes out. I finally said enough and started looking for a new job. It took me a month till I found a new job, I went for a trial shift and all went well, so I handed in my notice and was so exited to get out of such a toxic work environment. Cut to the night before I was supposed to start and I hadn't heard anything from him in a week. S
