Monday Baking - Chocolate chip cookies

Cookies are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine so making them is definitely the cheaper option in our house. 

First thing this morning we made a big batch of chocolate chip cookies, certainly makes the house smell gorgeous! 

Ingredients:

350g plain flour

175g caster sugar 

175g soft brown sugar 

225g unsalted butter 

2 eggs 

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 

1 tsp salt 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

Chocolate chips (I white chips and milk chunks! Recipe calls for 350g but you can never have too much in my opinion!) 

I combined all the dry mixture (except the chocolate) and mixed well. Then I added the butter and creame that all together. Finally the eggs, vanilla and chocolate. Nice big stir to get an even spread of chocolatey chunks, splat them onto a greased baking tray then into the oven at 190C for around 10 minutes. 

Mine always go a little delirious in the oven and spread all over the tray, which just gives them more character I like to think 😉 

The batch we made today is the best one yet! Yum. Enjoy! 

The Details - Bridesmaids

Our colour scheme was mint and pink, and despite mint being quite 'in' at the moment, I couldn't find dresses I liked for the life of me! After a bit of a palava with ill fitting dresses off etsy, we found them! 

They are actually the same dresses my sister had for her bridesmaids, hers in teal, mine in mint. 

The colour was originally a bit darker than I wanted but on the day it looked perfect! 

Along with Amber's little mint dress 

The girls all had pink shoes, which were again hard to settle on! 

So I think it all came together well on the day! 

The groomsmen all wore mint polkadot ties with the exception of the groom, who had a darker mint colour. This wasn't planned...silly me forgot to order the extra tie! Oops!
