Sure I get to have pool parties, but because my birthday falls in the middle of summer, most of my friends are usually away for my annual celebration. I always envied the kids who came to school on their birthdays with a tray of freshly baked biscuits or a cake their mum had made, covered with blue icing sugar and jelly snakes.

So this year I decided I would treat everybody at work with some cookies to celebrate my 27th.

If I ever did have a party, instead of big bowls of sweets and potato chips, my mum bought dried fruit and muesli bars. Every year I wanted a party so badly, but had to beg to be allowed to have normal food like Hundreds and Thousands on white bread with the crusts cut off instead of homemade jam on wholemeal or sourdough.

The cookies I made are not the vegan, organic, sugarless one my mum would have made, but they're not double-trouble chocolate chip either. As far as I'm concerned, anything with dried apricots in them is delicious.

What you need:

1 2/3 cups regular flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup melted butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

2 cups white chocolate chips

3/4 cup chopped almonds

3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped

What to do with it:

1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F ).

2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, stir in the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients until well blended, then throw in the white chips, almonds, and apricots.

3. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an unprepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should be golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

4. Don't eat too much of the raw mixture or else you'll feel sick like I did...
