1 stick butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2-1 cup chopped pecans, or any nut of your choice
1 package chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in eggs and vanilla, then cocoa powder. Slowly mix in flour. Once blended mix in nuts and chocolate chips.

If the mix seems too moist refrigerate for about a half an hour. Drop onto cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Set out on wire rack to cool.

A Yummy Sandwich
(Cause I fail at making anything else. And this is my faaaaaavourite sandwich of all time)
First, toast the first slice of bread a little bit - It'll be going under the grill in a minute, so not too much, aye?
While that's toasting, chop up some walnuts and some goats cheese. When the toast is ready, put the nuts and cheese onto it, with the nuts on top, so that they'll be given the chance to brown a little bit. Pop it all under the grill, and put on the second slice of toast. They should both be ready at about the same time.
When the grilly one is grilled, put golden syrup onto it! Omy-yes! Slap the second slice on top of it.
OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM. 8D
Also, another thing, with the sames kinds of ingredients as the magic sandwich, that I've gotten reeeealy into OMNOMing at the moment is nuts with natural yoghurt and honey on it. (Not mixed up too much, cause it's nice being able to taste the honey and yoghurt separately)
It's like a greek speciality or some such, and tastes like sweeties, but is very healthy.

Banoffee pie
This popular dessert is made with the perfect pair - banana and toffee and couldn't be simpler to achieve.
Serves: 8
Takes: 20 minutes plus chilling time of 1 hr 30 mins
For the base:
100g (4oz) butter
250g (9oz) digestive biscuits, crushed
For the caramel:
175g (6oz) butter
75g (3oz) caster sugar
397g can Carnation Condensed Milk
For the topping:
4 small bananas
284ml carton double cream, lightly whipped
Cocoa powder, for dusting
You will also need:
20cm (8in) loose-bottomed cake tin, greased and the based lined
Piping bag
1. Use a food blender to crush the biscuits into fine crumbs.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and stir in the crushed biscuits until the two bind together. Press the mixture into the base and sides of a 20cm (8in) loose-bottomed cake tin. Chill for 30 mins.
3. For the caramel, melt the butter and sugar over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is golden in colour. Add the condensed milk, stirring continuously and bringing to the boil. Keep the caramel boiling steadily for 2 mins, whilst stirring to make a thick golden caramel. Take the caramel off of the heat and cool.
4. Slice the bananas and arrange most of them over the biscuit base then spread the caramel over the top. Chill for 1 hr 30 mins, or until firm.
5. When ready to serve, remove the pie from the tin and place on a serving plate. Fill a piping bag with the whipped cream and squeeze onto the banoffee pie, decorating as desired with the remaining bananas and a light dusting of cocoa powder.
TIP: For a simple way to make the caramel, put an unopened can of condensed milk into boiling water and poach for 2 hrs. After cooling, the condensed milk will have caramelised and can then be poured over the biscuit base.
