Cookies
Everyone loves fresh cookies and this is a great recipe to ensure you can have fresh cookies whenever you want them. Make up a couple of batches, pop them in the freezer. When you want a fresh cookie cut some slices, pop on a tray to bake for 10 minutes and they are ready!

If you are freezing them for later spoon all of the cookie dough onto two sheets of clingfilm. Roll around the cookie dough and tighten the ends to roll the dough into a sausage.
