To all my Readers in Australia, HAPPY LONG WEEKEND 
Woo Hoo! We get tomorrow off because it’s Queen’s Birthday, it’s a little annoying though that we don’t get an extra day off like my friends in the UK do because it’s the Queen’s Jubilee celebration 
Even though, I’ve only gone to the UK, I’ve always had a strong connection with the Queen hehe I’ve always liked her and the whole royal family ~ I was quite young when Princess Diane passed away but I still remember it was such a shock and have since read so many autobiographies of her
They’re both invincible and incredible together
I’m totally in love with this picture and just really wanted to share with everyone, Queen Elizabeth and her Prince Phillip are surely invincible and incredible together after so many years, they are still very much in love! Sooooo Sweet
Anyway, I always get side-tracked lol like most couples… Mr Bao and I bicker a lot… and we always have stupid bets and challenges…and these caramel chip cookies are one of them.
Nestle recently released their new caramel bits for baking, which are the same as the chocolate chips but their caramel ones YAY I LOVE anything caramel hehe ~ so I immediately picked them up. I got quite busy so just left them lying at the back of my pantry, but then fellow blogger The Suz Chef Instagrammed a photo of these chips and jolted my memory.
So I made these last night, and while I was scooping them out onto the baking trays, Mr Bao decided my cookies were ‘ugly’ and that I should be using my hands and rolling them into little BALLS before I bake them… so he decided to come and ‘show’ me…
*Rolls Eyes*
*COUGH COUGH* Excuse me! Who’s the baker in the house? LOL
Anyway so we got into a pretty heated argument and we can’t decide who’s cookies look better?!? They taste exactly the same, but I must say mine are crunchier on the outside and oh so chewy on the inside.
So my dear lovely Readers, please vote who’s Caramel Chip Cookies look the best Just be honest and place a vote ~ I wont be made if you only voted for me hahaha.
If I win I wont need to do the washing for the next two weeks! But if I lose…I’ll have to do the washing and ironing…so PLEASE cast your vote
Mine – The Left
Mr Bao – The Right
Back to the recipe, these Caramel Chip Cookies were SO easy to make and SO good I think I’m gonna make another batch for work next week ~ They’re seriously sweet and delicious and very ‘Mrs Field’ like which is the type of cookies I like hehe ~
Recipe – Caramel Chip Cookies from Nestle (the package)
Ingredients (Makes 15 large or 30 small)
125 grams butter, soften
165 grams, brown sugar
1 egg
255grams, self raising flour
250 grams, Nestle Caramel Bits
Method
1) Preheat oven to 170°C/150°C fan-forced. Grease and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2) Place, butter, brown sugar and egg in a bowl of a stand mixer or use a handheld electric mixer, beat until mixture is plate and creamy.
3) Stir in flour.
4) Add Caramel Bits. Mix until well combined
5) Roll level tablespoon of mixture, place on prepared trays of about 4cm apart. Flatten slightly.
6) Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until golden. Set aside on trays for 5 minutes to cool; transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
If you haven’t seen these Caramel Bits, you can get them from most Coles and Woolworths in Australia As for other places I’m not too sure ~ But if you do see them, pick some up and try making these yummy cookies!
Before I head off ~ Please please PLEASE cast your vote!
Thanks xoxo
PS. I’m the one on the LEFT
sorry mr bao but daisy wins ! the chips looks more even out
YAY
You’re the best Julie 
1 to 0!
Yours definitely win Daisy! But like I said on instagram, chewy bikkies always beat crunchy any day! Sorry Mr Bao!
I’ve always been a fan of the royals too! Although probably because I have strange liking for the history of the British Monarchy from the time of the Battle of Hastings rather than the more current royal family
That photo is very very sweet!
PS – I love your pink kitchenaid!
Thanks Winnie
Same here I much prefer chewy cookies hehe ~ I’ll let Mr Bao know about the score hehe
I love their history too~ I’ve always read so many books and things about them ~ Queen Elizabeth the First is AMAZING
Sighhh that’s not a Kitchenaid hehe I wish it was! It’s a Kenwood I’m saving up for a pink Kitchenaid
Haha, you’re such a cute couple. I like the look of the ones on the rectangular tray, whoever made them!
Hi Leaf
hahaha we’re not so cute right now we’re more competitive 
Thanks for your vote I MADE THEM on the tray hehe
Daisy, yours looks the best! It looks more natural!
Thanks Jan
WOO HOO! I’ll bring you some tomorrow 
They’re still good dun worry ~
Hahhaha…. You guys are too cute. What a fun way to spend time together. And I’m sorry, Daisy, but I gotta say that Mr Bao’s does look better. I may or may not be a TAD biased but us guys gotta have each other’s backs, y’know! LOL. I’m kidding, they both look just as delicious and make me just as hungry at this hour =X
Hi Winston
hahhaa we’re really not that cute we just fight and argue with each other all the time hehe! Damn Winston I thought I could depend on your vote hahaha but it’s okay I think Mr Bao deserves a vote too hehe
I’ll say ‘Thanks’ on his behalf
Hope exams went well for you!
I will not cause division in the house on a long weekend. Anything that is NOT burnt is fine by me – so they both look delicious.
Hahahha you’re too nice Gerald
but it’s ok thanks for leaving a comment anyways ~
Haha I like your deals for the bet! and I have to say that I do prefer the look of yours Daisy. Although I applaud Mr Bao’s intentions of wanting to make the cookies more uniform and ‘neater’, I actually like the way you can see the cracks in yours – they look like a more rustic authentic cookie and one that I would definitely want to eat!
Hello Gem
We always have these silly bets and usually we’re able to work them out without having to take it onto the blog but this time lol we needed some judges to help us out hehe~
Thank you for your vote wakakaka I told him mine look more homemade hehe
he’s are too ‘commercial’ hehe
Lol sorry the right ones look better!
OMG lol Mr Bao got a vote
thanks ~
great idea for a cake
))
Thanks
I vote Daisy’s cookie
Thank you Andy knew I could count on you
DEFINITELY the left hand side wins!! Wahahahahahahahahaha
Thank you Iola woo hoo
I love that picture of the Royals. You and Mr Bao seem like a cute couple too and perhaps one day you can have a similar picture to share
If I have to vote, I’ll vote for your cookies as they look just that little bit better to me but well done to Mr Bao for coming in a close second 
The cookies sounds delicious – I’m not sure if I can find caramel chips here.
hahaha i doubt that we’ll take such a pretty and serene picture lol we’re always fighting with each other hehe
thank you Ros for the vote hehe I totally think mine look more ‘homemade’ 
I’m sure you’d be able to find them over there ~ you guys have more cool stuff than us hehe
Mmmm Daisy I am all for your stunning cookie! It looks bigger than Mr B’s
And I did not know caramel chips were finally available in Australia – today’s grocery mission? Buy caramel chips – thanks for the tip
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
Thanks Uru
yay another vote~ Yes yes do go get yourself some caramel chips 
They’re the BEST hehe ~
Before I even knew that the cookie on the left was yours, I was going to vote for the cookie on the left. It just has better colour and it looks like it would have better crunch. I love that photo of Philip and Lizzy too. I remember Princess Diana well. You couldn’t go a day without seeing an image of her. The women’s magazines just loved her because with her on the cover they would sell, sell, sell. I think everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news her life had been taken all too soon. xx
YAY
Thanks Charlie ~ i’m starting to feel a little sorry for Mr Bao it’s his first attempt at making cookies hehe ~ but I honestly like mine more 
I remember that too! When i went to supermarkets with mum…it was always Princess Diane on the cover of all the magazines
I still think it’s really sad how she died so young..
the left one looks homemade. the right ones looks commercially prepared.
lol i agree with u
but who do you vote for? hehe
My vote goes to Daisy…looks more natural and fresh
Yay
thanks ~
I vote for your cookies Daisy. Looks like you may not have to do laundry or ironing for awhile! lol .. love it!
Woo hoo
i like the sound of that!
Hi Daisy, it’s me again. I have an award on my blog for you
http://themorethanoccasionalbaker.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/abc-of-me-and-cake.html
Thank you Ros
I’m so honoured that you gave me another award 
YAY! gonna go check it out now!
Crunchy outside, chewy inside = Win for Daisy
Sounds like it was a good long weekend 
Thanks Ames
it was a GREAT long weekend just ate, baked and blogged hehe ~ maybe too much of it all hehe how was yours?
Fantastic
Mine was busy doing uni work but that’s ok coz it’ll be the last of it’s kind, woohoo! 
Hahahaha I’d prob choose yours. But then I wouldn’t say no to his either.
Hahhaa thanks Nic
I’ll tell him that ~ me WINNER!
Haha, I love that you had a contest…they look so good!
Hahaha we’re just really silly Charissa
You two are the cutest couple, Daisy! Okay, both look much better than how I would make so I pick you two as winner!
These cookies look delicious! I love your pink KA!
Hahaha we really aren’t that CUTE lol we fight so much it’s silly but we try to have fun when we can and get out of as much house work as we can
DAMN you didn’t pick me as the winner 
Hehe you see I loved Princess Diana when I was young! These caramel bits sound really interesting. I’ve never seen them before!
They’re really nice
You should get them too Lorraine ~ I love Princess Diana too hehe oh you didn’t vote 
Yours win, for sure! I love chewy cookies. And, I agree with you about the Queen and Prince Phillip…the photos you posted are great…they just look so happy
WOO HOO
i am CLEARLY the winner 
I really like that picture too ~ It’s just so sweet and genuine hehe
just send the 2 batches over for me to taste test first!
hahaha that sounds like a brilliant idea
but for me to do that I’m gonna have to bake another batch first 
I LOVE that photo of the queen XD It’s so cute…
I must say, I definitely prefer your version better Daisy, sorry Mr Bao! Cookies are meant to have this rustic jagged edges and a chewy centre sounds just perfect! I’m craving for some right now, not good, don’t have any chocolate chips at home.
Hi Jenny
me too love love love that photo that’s why i wanted to share with everyone ~
WOO HOO
Another vote! Totally leading this competition lol poor Mr Bao he tried his best hehe! Uh oh you should go get some caramel/chocolate chips soon!
I love that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip photo too!
Haha I didn’t know that the UK gets an extra day off work. It sucks that we don’t get it too, but I made up for it by taking my monthly RDO on the Friday so that I could have an extra long weekend … which was, of course, not long enough! Wah!
And haha, you’re too right about bickering couples. Most of the time, I want to punch Marty in the face!
I know right Libby! It’s not fair that we only got one day off sighhh but doesn’t matter ~ at least you got an extra long weekend hehe i wish i took an extra day off too
LOL we bicker so much it’s really not funny but then i don’t think i could be with a guy that was just so timid and ‘nice’ all the time LOL
I really do prefer yours for a more rustic look. And it also has slightly more colour due to the nooks and crooks. So yeah! I want cookies too!
WOO HOO I am CLEARLY the winner
Go me! And i think because there’s more crooks and stuff in it, the edge are crunchier 
go make some Kelly!!!
the picture looks so sweet and OMG i cant believe u have a baby pink mixer!! so jelly!!
I love that pic
damn you didn’t vote hehe I only bought it because it was pink hehe i love pink sooooooooooooooo much 
Haha what a funny contest. But Daisy, yours win for me
LOL thanks
WOO HOO! I get another vote!
Looks like you won’t need to do any washing and ironing for two weeks haha!! Your cookies definitely won by a long mile!! What makes Mr Bao think that he could do better baking then you LOL, though I normally consider him very sweet, I have to take your side this time
I love both the Queen and Prince Phillip, feel very touched when people who don’t live in this country think highly of them too
Woo Hoo
I am so so so happy that I don’t need to do the washing or ironing! YAY! I hate housework with a passion hahaha so it’s good that I don’t need to do it 
LOL i kinda feel sorry for him cuz it’s his first time making cookies and he tried really hard but somehow it just didn’t work out hehe
I totally love the Queen and the whole royal family
I’m not sure why I have such a strong connection but somehow I do ~
I vote for your cookie Daisy hehe! I was googling caramel chip cookie recipes and yours came up hehe. I got so excited about these caramel chip bags and bought two the other week when they were on sale
:D Now searching for yummy things to make with them, these look like a serious contender 
Ohhh yay my recipe came up
WOO HOO ~ I love love love the caramel bits ~ I could eat them as is hahaha yummmm 
Hope you like this recipe and make the cookies soon! nomz
Hahah I took them to a party and everyone was eating them the way they were haha. PS I totally made dark chocolate cookies with caramel bits mmm sugary goodness
Hi! I just found the caramel bits too! So I quickly whipped up a batch ( double size, of course, for my growing twin girls are eating me out of everything) and added 1 pkt caramel bits and 3/4 pkt milk choc bits and they are delicious. Oh, and mine turned out just like yours so I vote for the ones on the left!
Hi Tanya
Thanks for dropping by my blog
I’m totally addicted to these caramel bits too 
They’re so delicious hehe ~ ohhh you have twin girls? That’s so cute!!!
I’m glad yours turned out so well and I bet they are even better than mine hehe so glad I win though
