Do you ever have a notion in your head to bake but then you go to the fridge and realise that you’ve only got one egg left? There’s few things you can bake with one eggs, unfortunately. Lemon Drizzle Cake requires three eggs. Cupcakes require four eggs. What to do with one egg?

With one egg you can make a batch of delicious cookies. I use this base recipe to inform all of the cookie recipes on my blog, making adjustments here and there to suit the flavour. In this case, the M&M’s can be easily replaced with chocolate chips or smarties.

Hope you enjoy!
