God Daughter Cookies

Recipes from Suzanne James | www.suzannejames.co.uk

Iam lucky to be a Godmother several times over (don’t ask me why because I will be the first to admit that not all of my parenting skills are entirely up to scratch). However, when it comes to teaching kitchen skills I am your woman! I really love cooking with children as they have so much enthusiasm, and it is a great way to sneakily build some life skills into play time. As the Easter

Holidays are looming (crazy I know when they have all only just gone back), here is a fantastic recipe to keep them busy and use up ‘leftover’ Easter Eggs!

(I love marshmallow and dark chocolate!)then leave the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 160°C 4) After 30 minutes, remove from the refrigerator and divide the mixture equally, using a spoon or an ice cream scoop.
