Ingredients

  • 350g/12oz plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 225g/8oz margarine
  • 175g/6oz caster sugar
  • 175g/6oz soft brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 350g/10oz chocolate in chips

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Beat in the eggs. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate.
  4. Split the pliable dough into two halves, rolling each out into sausage shapes, approximately 5cm/2in in diameter. Wrap them in cling film and transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use.
  5. When you are ready to bake the cookies, simply cut the log into slices 2cm/¾in thick and lay on a baking tray, widely spaced apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes.

What the Hens Say
We would just like to say the biggest thank you for the best day we have had in a long time last Saturday. The farm is amazing but most importantly your hospitality was second to none. We felt so welcome and never laughed so much. We may have been one of your first Mayo hens but we will spread the word and hopefully ye will have more! From baking the bread to racing in the bog we will be laughing for yrs about it.Marie, July 2010

The bride to be Gráinne was from Donegal, (I'd say it's hard to remember all the hen parties as you have so many). All the girls from Gráinne's hen would like to say thank you to Ella for making our visit to the farm a great one. We all had a brilliant time and we enjoyed every second of it....we all loved jumping in the bog. I will definitely be recommending Causey farm as a great place for a hen party.Maeve, Aug 2011

On behalf of the Bride to Be Ger, thanks for making her hen weekend so memorable and such good fun. We are still laughing over our experience in the bog!! You cannot beat tucking into your own brown bread and Lily's scones in the sunshine with a cuppa and good company.Frances Hargaden, Aug 2010

A big thank you to you all for a fantastic day. We never stopped laughing from start to finish. The whole day was organised so well, we all had a ball. Everyone loved the scones at the end, they were a very welcomed treat. Keep up the great work.....we are all recommending you to all our friends.Deirdre Brodigan, Aug 2010

It was good fun and it was a pleasure meeting you and doing all those fun things- baking bread, dancing, milking the cow!, painting and playing the Bodhran! Oh we even did the Siege of Ennis at the party- specially requested after our performance at Causey farm!Ralina, Sept 2010

We had an absolute ball and the girls all really enjoyed themselves and are all looking to go back as we never laughed so much and had such fun on the bog. The service was truly fantastic and I must say everyone has been raving about it since we got back.Pamela Lynch, Feb 2011

From we arrived till we left we were treated like royalty, you are very well organised and your staff are brilliant, all the girls had a ball and we have told everyone how we had an excellent time.Collette McManus, Oct 2010
