My holiday

On the 6th of July me and my family went to Black Bridge for the 10th anniversary of my dad’s mums, my grandma passing. We went to a bakery that my dad went to when he was a little boy. We had steamed mince buns and cheese bread sticks.

We went to a beach that I went to when I was 6. It had a nice shore line. It was raining so we had to eat in the car. I never got to eat a cheese bread stick but I did get to have three steamed mince buns.

I did not do much for the rest of the holidays, all I did was work on my dads boat.

How to make chocolate cookies with m&m’s in it.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of Flour

half a cup of white sugar

2 tablespoons of cocoa powder        

M&M’s

3 tablespoons of melted butter or margarine

Put the oven on 180 degrees. Grab a big mixing bowl and put the flour in the bowl put the cocoa powder in the center of the bowl and then pour the melted butter and the sugar in the bowl and mix. Keep on mixing until the sugar has dissolved. Add the m&m’s in the bowl.

Grab a cooking tray and put baking paper on the tray. Make some small ball out of the mix and place them on the tray. Make sure they are 3 centimetres away of each other so they don't stick to each other. Grab a spoon and flatten the mix a little bit so they look like cookies not balls.

Pick up the tray and insert it to the oven and cook for 5 minutes each batch. You can do as many batch's as you want.
