Bake and Share #2 - it's cookie time!

[Netix]

Just found the recipe similar to Lisa's that I have used: (and it makes about 120 biscuits!)

500g margarine or butter
1 tin condensed milk
1 cup sugar (I use slightly less, maybe 3/4)
5 cups self raising flour

Cream butter and sugar, add condensed milk and flour. Roll into teaspoon sized balls and press down with fork. Onto greased trays, bake in moderate oven for 10-15 mins.
Variations inc; choc chips and chopped glace cherries / cornflakes and sultanas / hundreds and thousands / milo and coconut / etc.

I also had the thought before about making red velvet sandwich cookies... (look on Bakerella for a pic, but with my usual french cream icing )

Wow, the condensed milk cookies sound great!

Anything with less butter (or oil) and sugar??!

Will do Anzac's here - the kids love them and I manage to sneak in extra oats to try and balance all the sugar/butter, lol! We're off to have a play date with some new people too, so hoping to make a good impression (crazy but true)!

My neighbour 'bake and shared' me yesterday, lol! She has a cupcake making business and wasn't happy with a batch so I got a knock on the door just before dinner (the temptation to have cupcakes for dinner was HUGE! ) and one of her DD's presented me with a batch of 12 piping hot cupcakes! I made lime butter icing and put a glace cherry on top and they taste super delish! So, I won't be making cookies today

JL, you are a lucky chick! So who DID bake yesterday? I didn't bake yesterday, but shared my fruits of labour from the night before. I ended up making nearly one hundred green shamrock shaped biscuits for daycare, since it was St. Patricks Day, and they were having a green day. I tinted the dough a really nice green, but the biscuits were so very faintly green in colour, you could have missed it. Except after biting into them... the centres were green. It looked very odd, but went down well with the children from what I heard.

I didn't

Got completely side tracked because the kids were off sick from school

[Netix]

That's not good (I mean the kids being sick). Hope they're feeling better now though.

I didn't because our car died and I didn't get a chance to go to the shops. We were without a car until yesterday. I have 'postponed' my bake & share and fully intend to do it very soon. I know my friend will definitely appreciate it

I think the next one should be slice - I love slices!

[toomanyshoes]

I'll be in with the slice, when are we going to do it?

Might make cookies to catch up too
