First Bake of the Year. Cherry, Almond & Chocolate cookies inspired by Leon.

Happy New Year to everybody. I had such a great Christmas. I hope you did too?!
So here is my first bake of the New Year with Mummy...

1. Weigh out the cherries and use scissors to cut them up into small pieces.

We used cherries that Daddy had glaciered himself. He's a clever cloggs like that!!

2. Weigh out the chocolate and put it in a food bag and smash it up with a rolling pin. (You can let your grown-up do this if they're feeling a bit stressed)

3. Weigh out the other ingredients.

4. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until they are smooth and fluffy.

5. Break the eggs and slowly add them to the mixture. Mix until they are combined.

6. In another bowl mix your other ingredients together.

7. Add them to the butter bowl and be careful not to overmix it!

8. Put even spoonfuls onto your ready prepared baking tray. Pop them in the oven and bake for 10 - 15 minutes. When they are finished you can remove them from the oven and leave them on the tray to cool a bit. Don't try and take them off the tray too soon or they all break up! They feel quite soft until they are completely cooled.

9. Distribute them between your friends and family BUT, Don't forget to have one yourself!!

Final Bakeface winner should be announced, so fingers crossed...
