Big, Fat, Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Do your kids chop and change their minds about what they will and won’t eat in their school lunches??
My girls will happily eat fruit slice every day for a month, and then suddenly, one day they bring it home untouched declaring that they don’t like it, it’s disgusting and if I ever dare put it in their lunch again their eyes will roll out of their heads in frustration.
What’s with that?
I try hard not to loose my mind and just look for something else to bake to fill up their bottomless pit stomachs and whinging mouths!
This week I tried out a new chocolate chip cookie recipe. Reported to be ‘the fluffiest, chewiest, most amazing chocolate chip cookies ever’ according to Apple a Day blog where I first found the recipe, and she’s not wrong. These are delish and only crumbs came home from school!
These cookies are forgiving when it comes to the mixture (I left out the corn flour by mistake first time and they still came out ok) but they are not forgiving when it comes to cooking. Do not over cook, ten minutes is enough! The cookies will not brown, they stay very blonde. When you see them starting to go slightly brown around the edges, take them out, or they will be crumbly not chewy.
Here is my slightly modified recipe for Big Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I love the sandwich wraps… my daughter takes a hard plastic container with her sandwich and is always complaining about the extra room and weight in her bag.
They are all amazing but I like the snack pack best
First off, I am SO going to try those cookies this weekend!
And to the wraps – love the look of the “combie van” sandwich/snack wraps and that would satisfy both my husband (he, as a good German, once owned a VW combie) and my little boy (car! car!). They are such a great idea.
My very favourite choc chip recipe is very vvery similar to this one except for the cornflour…interesting addition. I will give it a try!
I like the sandwich and snack pockets. they look so handy and neat. the kids would love the cute desings and my bag wouldn’t be weighed down with plastic snack containers! I like the words on navy :)
A giveaway that I can enter! I would like to see how these wraps work. The sandwich wrap would be the most used item in our household, although the older three kids already have all their lunch needs provided for between tupperware & decor, so these would be for the almost-toddler when we go out.
I love the idea of the snack pockets, I’m always sending goose trap off to work with a clip seal bag full of nuts or other more naughty snacks… I have this strange feeling I won’t be able to replace the clip seal bags used for breast milk storage though :-)
Our school has just started to implement one rubbish free day a week. So Im investigating stuff like this for the long term, saves money, less plastic. I love the sandwhich pocket, in the butterfly design. My big girl going to school next year will love it.
I love the Combie wrap. I reckon that i could even get my husband to use that one! Super idea, grace
We are in dire need of new drink bottle for Heidi, she has destroyed every bottle we’ve gotten her this year.
I really like this one http://www.4myearth.com.au/store/product_info.php?cPath=13&products_id=38
The snack pockets are fantastic – what a great idea!
definitely a snack pocket or a sandwich wrap! they will be so useful:)
CARS all the way- snack bags and wraps- My Mr 2.5 years old loves his snacks when we are out and about, and the Cars movies have been a huge hit with him! Love the choc chip recipe too!
I love the look of the sandwich wrap; all of the items look fab though! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My favourite product from 4 My Earth is the sandwich pocket, because it’s so versatile. It doesn’t just hold sandwiches perfectly, but it also holds other foods just as well. With the sandwich pocket, you’re only limited by what you haven’t tried yet!
The sandwich wrap is an awesome and brilliant idea
It makes one use less clingwrap so we can all cheer.
It can be used for example to wrap homemade pasta as well as cheese
We should all use these wraps to help save the planet please.
Hi there,
I love the combi and butterfly range of snack and sandwich wraps and pockets.
Thanks for the choc chip biccy recipe :)
Kind regards,
Imogen
I am loving the wraps with the Combi design at the moment but think that the lunch back are very stylish and even come with a place for an ice block.
My favourite product would be the sandwich wraps. The combie print is so retro cool and with my boy is about to start school soon he is into things like that. I like the idea that the wrap would keep his sandwich fresh and protected from other things in the lunchbox (like a frozen drink!) And I love the idea of being rubbish free and doing our little bit to reduce the waste that we all produce.
My favourite would be the sandwich wrap as this is what I tend to use the most cling wrapping and would save so much plastic if I started using these, they’re great – so inspirational!
I love the lunch sacks, nice bright colours!
