Tanya Burr Cookies

Hey guys,
So today I made some triple chocolate cookies from Love Tanya (Tanya Burr's book). I did not have everything on this list and I also tweaked the recipe to my personal preferences so I thought I would share what I did with you.

ingredients:
210g of butter
220g of sugar
30g of artificial sweetener (because I didn't have enough sugar)
1 medium egg
300g of self-raising flour
a dash of milk
65g of cocoa powder
100g of chocolate in squares
100g of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Cream the butter, sugar and sweetener together then add the egg and the dry ingredients. Also add the milk if the mixture looks too dry. Now break up the chocolate and throw it in.
line 3 baking trays with baking paper.
I have found that this makes around 24 smaller cookies
spoon the mixture onto the baking trays making sure that they are quite far apart because they will spread. then pop them in the oven for 11 minutes.
take them out put them on a cooling rack, and enjoy!

thanks for reading

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Candy Glam Pallete

Heya guys, so this blog post is going to be about the Tanya Burr Cosmetics Candy Glam Palette there will be a picture of mine below.

This set comes with 9 eye shadows ( snow flake, starry night, crème brulee, baking brownies, date night in paris, teddy bear, plumberry, ballet slipers, chandelier ) a blusher ( pretty peony ) a bronzer ( beach bronze ) and a lip gloss ( daydream ).

Good things about it:
- all of the eye shadows are really wearable colours.
- the lip gloss is not sticky at all.
- the eye shadows, blusher and bronzer are all really pigmented.
- the lip gloss is the same size as the ones from the advent calendar so you can swap them around.
- it comes with a little handy mirror.
- it closes magnetically so it doesn't open when you don't want it to.
- it is very well priced and definitely worth the money.
- the packaging is really pretty.
- the shades have really cute names.
- there is a mixture of matte and shimmery eye shadows.

I don't think that there are any bad things about this palette and it is all round amazing!
