Sorry the whole first post wasn't showing before, only up to:

(Thanks Raupe for the thread title! )

OK, time to get out your best biscuit and cookie recipes for a bake and share day

Wonder if i can find a dairy free biscuit mix i can make, tell DP i want to make them for when we go camping next week

Great idea ! I do this a lot anyway

ZF- I use my normal sugar cookie recipe but replace the butter with nuttlex spread (or similar non dairy spread), works quite well, sometimes just need to add a little more flour
PM me if you'd like the recipe.

I'm in for this one too

Not sure who I will be giving cookies to though. I will have to think about it. I might give them to a friend who is moving house with her 5 kids and is having some teenager issues atm.
This is my favourite recipe for cookies. It is the only one we use now -

* 250g butter
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 can condensed milk
* 3 cups sifted self raising flour
* 1 packet of milk chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar. Add condensed milk, flour, chocolate chips. Mix through. Roll into balls and bake at 180 degrees until slightly golden. They will still be very soft but they firm up when cooled.

This recipe actually freezes really well too, so I often make up a mix, divide it and roll into a sausage and cover with cling wrap and freeze. When it is time to use the mix all you have to do is cut slices off and bake.

Count me in! Not sure what I'll be making, but your condensed milk biscuits sound great. I've made them before I think, but without the choc chips.

hmm, what to make.... Oh! Maybe my banana and ginger biscuits (if not Lisa's...)

Ah-ha! I have it! Similar recipe to Lisa'a I think; divided into thirds; one third vanilla, one with cocoa, and the third with strawberry flavour. Rolled out into equal size rectangles, layered with the vanilla in the middle, chilled then sliced into Neapolitan biscuits, bake and yum!

ZF - if there are no peanut or egg allergies you could do peanut butter cookies which are easy peasy -
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg

Mix all together until it gets to dough like consistency. Roll into balls and press down with a fork. Bake until slightly golden.

My 4yr old DS loves to make these.

Hehe, JL29 that made me smile!

I'm all excited about our second bake-off. Don't know what I will make yet, but shall update once I know!

Mmm Peanut butter, but DD2 was borderline for nut allergy so better not risk it just yet.
I'm thinking i might make the sugar cookies and maybe take some in from the girls for our librarian on friday when we go to storytime.
Wonder what cookie cutters i have???? How cute would it be to have book shaped ones
