At last … something to get your hands dirty in the kitchen with. This new cookie kit from Greens is in your local supermarket now, and consists of a package of mix, a small sachet of puffed rice, a tube of hydromel-like orange goo, and a plastic Dalek-shaped cutter. In the interests of research, I have just finished making a batch of cookes myself, so here’s the lowdown. You add some water to the powdered mix and hit it repeatedly until it turns into a very sticky dough which looks alarmingly like some sort of Dalek mutant. You then roll this out, using copious amounts of flour as it really is mega-adhesive, and press out eight cute little Daleks using the cutter. I managed to get 10 Daleks out of mine, so it depends on how thinly you roll it I guess. You then decorate with the puffed rice and pop in the heated oven for 8 minutes to cook. They come out smelling wonderful, and when they’ve cooled, you use the orange goo to decorate them further. They taste rather nice – sort of chocolate orange – and I can’t see them lasting very long in my house, not with a constantly ravenous 13 year old Androgum lurching about.

We bought these. Mostly because we'd get the cookie cutter. The cookie mix I think is pretty awful and I think the dough is way too sticky if you mix according to the instructions. Needs less water or more flour. The orange goo isn't bad though. I'd suggest making your own cookie mix and using the cute cutters!
