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.
