Super Dooper Cookie Mix

We had a Year 6 Open Day recently where all the year 6 students from local schools came for a taster day at Intermediate School.  Over three days we had 2 x 2 hour sessions per day with different groups of students.  For Food Technology, I had the students make Super Dooper Cookies.  The students each made a batch of cookie mix to take home and bake and also baked a batch of super dooper cookies in class.  The cookies are super dooper because the students can put whatever they want in the mix.  It's a good recipe which makes lots of yummy cookies.  Enjoy!
