Hi Hally
I use a recipe from the Womens Weekly cookies book called slice & bake cookies. It is a basic mixture that has 4 different variations. I do mine with mini M&Ms in it roll the dough into logs then freeze, when I need them they only take a few minutes to thaw out enough to slice then bake.
We have friends with egg allergies & this recipe has none so its great, I have also changed the butter to Nuttalex for another friends son had a dairy allergy.
Can email you the recipe if you like.
Understand the strain of heaps of birthdays all at once in our family I start them on Feb19 and my youngest ends them on April 9
with all the other in between, that's 6 birthdays in 7 weeks. So my 7 weeks of birthdays are 19/02, 21/02, 06/03, 31/03, 08/04 & 09/04!! CRAZY
