Cinnamon Butter - Healthier Cookies

I have just discovered that my toddler loves Cinnamon butter spread on bread and dried out a bit in the oven or toaster.

Cinnamon Butter

• 
  
• 1/2 cup softened butter
  
• 2 ounces caster sugar
• 2 ounces brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Spread on bread.

Freezer Oven Chips

The variety of potato is thre most important factor of success in potato-based recipes.
In this recipe, Saxon potatoes are what are needed.

Scrub some Saxon potatoes clean.
Cut into 1.5cm thick batons.
Place 1ts of vegetable oil and 1/2ts salt in a large Ziploc bag.
Place the potato batons in the bag.
Seal the bag and shake it vigourously.

At this stage the chips can be frozen.

To cook (from fresh or frozen):
Place a lined baking tray in the oven.
Preheat oven to its highest setting.
When the oven has reached temperature, place the chips (no need to defrost)
on the baking tray.
Cook for 30min or until golden.
