Natalie Barr cooked up a storm in her kitchen on Thursday after discovering a new recipe for butter-free chocolate chip cookies.
The Sunrise co-anchor, 54, was excited to make biscuits for her kids and share the recipe with her fans, but quickly ran into a problem when she ‘opened the fridge’.
‘Tonight in Nat’s kitchen I was going to make choc chip bickies for the kids, but I opened the fridge and no butter,’ she said in her Instagram video.

She continued: ‘Instead of running to the shop I thought, “There must be an alternative.”
‘So, I Googled butter-free choc chip cookies and who knew, you can do it with oil.’
The breakfast TV host pushed up the sleeves of her beige cardigan and got to work whipping up some cookies.

Natalie pulled out her high-end mixer and threw in two eggs, 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, a splash of vanilla essence, 3/4 brown sugar, and 3/4 cup of white sugar.
After she mixed it together into a creamy, runny consistency, the journalist folded in two and 1/4 cups of flour, chocolate chips, one teaspoon of bicarb soda and one teaspoon of salt.
For her final step, she chilled the dough in the fridge before breaking it into little balls and popping them in the oven to cook.

The biscuits came out looking slightly soft and incredibly delicious as she let them rest.
Natalia shares her two teenage boys Lachlan, 19, and Hunter, 16 with her film editor husband Andrew Thompson who she married in 1995.
Speaking with The Australian Women’s Weekly last year, she opened up about her life away from breakfast television and revealed why her family always ‘comes first’.

‘I may have this amazing career, but Andrew and the boys come first,’ she said.
She added that working in breakfast TV allowed her to juggle motherhood and her career because she can be a ‘full-time mum for the rest of the day’ once her shift ends.
Natalie was promoted to Sunrise co-anchor alongside David ‘Kochie’ Koch in March, following the departure of Samantha Armytage.
