i have decided to *potentially* start a series of blog posts called "Baking Sundays", this is where ill hopefully be able to share with you what i bake (if they turn out that is)

I have always enjoyed baking and cooking in general but have always been the one out of my siblings to bake even when we were younger, maybe its because i have such a sweet tooth.

This blog post will focus on cookies and crunchie cheesecake.

...and so we begin.

if you are like me and love subway cookies, then you will also be dying to know how to make them from home.

i picked up this recipe from my local radio station here in Adelaide's facebook page so i am not sure who the original author is but all credit to them.

i am a sucker for white chocolate and macadamia cookies and of course M&M cookies so they are the two featured in this blog post.

***please note, i wasn't completely successful at this recipe and im not sure why, they tasted delicious however out of the 3 trays i had in the oven 1 burnt, 1 cooked perfectly and the other could of done with a little longer then 7 minutes (see photos for what i mean, i ditched the burnt ones). I'm not sure if i should've rotated them during the 7 minutes or had less in the oven. I also found that the longer you let the mixture sit the sticker and thicker it became making it easier to place them on the tray as described. BUT please don't let this deter you from the recipe they still tasted good, i would still give it ago and see if it turns out better then me***

Ingredients:
- 1x packet of cake/brownie mix (whatever flavour/brand you want- i am using vanilla)
- 2x eggs
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- optional ingredients; milk choc chips, white choc chips, macadamias, m&m etc

Recipe (super easy):
1.  Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 392 Fahrenheit
2.  Pop everything into a large bowl or kitchen aid and mix together with an electric or hand mix until fully combined
3. Roll the dough into small balls and place onto a lined baking tray (they will get bigger so don't put too many on a tray [maybe 12 per tray] otherwise they will run into eachother)
4. Pop them into the oven for approximately 7 minutes. (they won't seem ready when you pull them out however they will continue to harden as they cool but don't worry they will still be soft like a subway cookie on the inside)
