What started out as a hankering for a midnight snack last night turned into a lovely batch of vanilla cookies. This recipe is so easy and would make a great base for any kind of extras you’d like to add, choc chips, dried fruit, nuts, whatever you can think of. The only problem with me cooking midnight snacks is that I forget to take photos of the whole process, I started off well and ended well but got forgetful somewhere in the middle.. I blame it on the cookie cravings. The cookies themselves were really lovely, not overly sweet which I found quite nice, but if you like your cookies super sweet you might like to add some white sugar to the mix.
