recipes needed

[oxoniensis]

I'm organising a little group at work to make cakes to raise money (and awareness) for the Philippines Typhoon Appeal, and I need some help with recipes. Individual cakes/cookies that are cheap, quick and easy to make, but will tempt people to buy! Any suggestions welcome. And if you don't have recipes, but want to help me pick, just +1 any in

This is quick and easy to put together, and you can cut it up into individual servings for a bake-sale type event. (I leave out the frosting part.) You could also do variations on it - chocolate with chocolate pudding, etc.

Excellent, thank you! A large tin I can cut would travel well too.

I'm not sure if they'd be considered quick, but you can vary them easily (different kinds of chocolate chips & melted milk instead of dark chocolate to make them less intense) and they're ridiculously tasty.

They sound simple enough that I wouldn't ruin them, and yummy, so that's good. Thank you!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

[oxoniensis]

These sound delicious, though I'll have to go shopping. My store cupboard hasn't any of the nice things in it!

Coconut macaroons

2 eggs
100-200 g sugar
200 g unsweetened shredded coconut
(maybe 2 tsp flour)

Mix everything, using the flour if the dough is too wet. Allow the dough to sit for 15 minutes. Press the dough together hard, in the shape of small pyramids/hills. Paper a baking plate and put the macaroons on it.

Preheat oven to 175° Celsius.

Bake for 10-15 minutes.

If desired, you can dip the bottom (or the top) in melted chocolate afterwards.

These would be good because I think they'd sell well, and I wouldn't be tempted to eat them all!

I make something similar, but with egg whites only and no flour (so you can advertise them as gluten free!) The batter looks impossible but they bake up nicely.

What a clever method of measuring, plus it sounds really nice and simple.

I know it was the first cake I learned when I was a kid, there's variations too, but that one is how we do it at my home..
