Cookies anyone??

Hey!

I've been so busy recently I actually didn't come up with a tutorial or anything for this blog! I'm sorry but I've been so busy I'm barely coping with the stuff that I have to do anyway.

I've been ;

  1. Trying to sort out this blog (backgrounds, coding, pictures, gifs, spell-checks etc)
  2. Sorting out my YouTube Channel (headers, profile pictures, small print, etc)
  3. Filming for my joint YouTube channel (well you've seen it haven't you?)
  4. Editing the YouTube video (it took like 15 hours - including sleep)
  5. Homework
  6. Homework
  7. Did I mention  homework?
  8. Completing my punishment (that's another story)
  9. A whole load of Euro Disney Rehearsals
  10. Writing - a lot (a speech, a song, this blog.....)
That might not seem like a lot - but trust me, it is.

But I don't want to leave you guys with nothing so I've found this recipe online for cookies that you guys can try out, take a picture of and tweet me the pic - @kallis_space.

Gluten Free + Dairy Free Chocolate + Coconut Cookies

You Will Need ;
200 ml of oats (like Nairn's or something if you want them gluten free. I think Tesco's own brand are gluten free too... You know what? Just read the label)
150 ml of almond flour
150 ml of unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp of baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 egg 
100 ml of sugar or coconut palm sugar
2 tbsp of coconut oil (melted)
2 tbsp of cocoa butter (melted)

Steps ;
  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C // 350 degrees F.
  2. In a food processor, finely grind the oats into powder.
  3. Mix the oats, almond flour, cocoa, coconut, baking powder + salt in a bowl.
  4. Whisk the egg + sugar (in another bowl) until light + fluffy.
  5. Melt the oil + butter in the microwave or over boiling water in a pot or something (don't mix with water - if you don't know what I'm talking about, just use the microwave - it's easier and quicker and probably safer)
  6. Add the dry ingredients with the oil + butter mixture with the sugar + egg mixture. Add half the flour mix, then add the wet ingredients then add the rest of the dry ingredients (I think it's for a gooey middle - mmm)
  7. Scoop out heaped teaspoons of dough - turning them into balls, + place them roughly 5 cm (2 inches) apart, then flatten them gently with a spoon or a fork.
  8. Bake them for about 12 - 15 minuets.
  9. I'd recommend letting them cool for a bit - it's probably not a good idea to eat them straight from the oven.....
  10. Enjoy :) - when they're not too hot....
And that is this Monday's blog post. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures on Twitter and finding out if you liked them or not (you can comment if they're any good in the comments below).
I will come up with a tutorial of my own for later in the week - but for now...

That's it
