COOKIES

This is lifted directly from our recipe book in the kitchen, so you’ll be making a good amount of cookies per batch. You may like to halve the recipe if you just want to bust out a few and get on with the day.

Cookie base

Beat until fluffy:

500 g butter softened

700 g caster sugar

Knead through butter/sugar mix until nicely combined:

1000* g self raising flour

160ml milk

This dough should have a good hold to it – it shouldn’t sag under its own weight from excess moisture, nor should it crumble from a lack of moisture. If it does either of these, either add a little more flour if saggy, or a little more milk if crumbly. Same applies to when you start messing around adding flavours.

*Why write 1000g and not 1kg? Glad you asked, let’s chat spreadsheets. Because this recipe is what we use in the kitchen, it’s written on a spreadsheet that we can use to easily scale it up or down, and it’s just simpler to keep it all in grams. Good chat.

Add flavours: 1 recipe per batch

Simply knead any of these flavour combinations into your cookie dough until well combined. Or come up with your own – just keep in mind the simple principle of observing the cookie’s consistency and adjusting with either moisture or flour as needed.

Once you’re happy with your cookie dough, you can make your cookies a number of different ways. At Dux Gutz we simply weigh each portion, throw it onto a tray in a blob, then press each blob into a ring cutter using a coffee cup. Drink the coffee first to avoid spillage. Plenty of other cookie shaping methods out there so just have a play and see what works for you.

Can definitely recommend. Had fast and personalised responses from business owner. Was flexible with final numbers up to 3 days prior to event. Food was delivered to the park on time and presented very well including name tags with ingredients and dietary levels. Quality of food was excellent. Price was on the higher end but well worth it. Cutlery and crockery is all recyclable. Home made lemon infused iced tea was different and well received (a bit strong so added water). Cake for 30 people was home made and outstanding! Will definitely go again with Dux Gutz. Below some photos.

I had Dux Gutz supply our recent work function with Canapes and they did not disappoint. We had different caters last year which we thought were excellent and the feedback from all was that this year’s catering was much better ! Great job to all the Team at Dux Gutz and thanks to Maria the lovely server !

I was very impressed with the service from Dux Gutz Catering. I ordered wraps and sandwiches for an office event, and everything was delicious and well packaged. The customer service was excellent as well :)

Dux Gutz catered our recent cocktail party and it could not have been better. From easy and flexible ordering with Zac, to seamless and on time delivery and then the food was plentiful and delicious! Most attendees commented on how good it was and one of them has already booked the Dux Gutz team to look after their daughter’s 18th birthday. I can highly recommend them to you!

Wow. Now THIS is service. We were looked after by Simona and the team so expertly, right from the beginning. Our guests raved about the food, which was so fresh and tasty. We had quite a few dietary requirements to take into consideration and this in no way impacted the quality of the food. We are so impressed and can't wait to work with you again. We got so many questions about where the food was from and couldn't recommend your service more highly! Thank you so much for making our night perfect.

Amazing food! Zac makes the best meals that feel like you’re eating at a fine dining restaurant in your own home. How good do these look.. and they were takeaways! Never disappoints!

I cannot recommend Dux Gutz enough! As the office administrator for a large corporate office, we host frequent corporate events for both our own team members and external clients and guests. I can always rely on Zac and his team to provide amazing, high quality food and on time delivery. A lot of the time I can only put orders through last minute, but Zac always saves the day. Myself and our entire office really appreciate the delicious catering, thank you Dux Gutz.

Lovely place and great people! Got some yummy homemade sausage rolls and a smoothie. Definitely recommend checking them out!

Love this cafe! This cafe has a variety of food and drink options and the food is fresh and so delicious. I have also organised catering for a special event and the process was seamless and very helpful being last minute. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the cafe has good indoor and outdoor seating options, with a great relaxing vibe. Will be back!
