Last night my friend Jess and I decided to experiment with some cookies and this was the result!

Bounty Cookies (makes approximately 20)

4 1/2 oz butter, 12 oz self raising flour, pinch of salt, 200g caster sugar,

1 tbsp golden syrup, 1 egg, beaten, vanilla seeds from one vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla extract, 3 bounty bars chopped into small pieces

Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Melt the butter and syrup, pour over the dry ingredients and mix in. Leave the mixture to cool slightly. Mix in the beaten egg and stir through the bounty pieces. Place small balls of the cookie dough on baking trays lined with greaseproof paper and bake at Gas Mark 6/160 oC for 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown, turning the tray half way through to ensure even cooking.
