This is my secret (ok I got it from a magazine in 2003 LOL) recipe for OMG cookies. They are certainly not guilt free. Quite the opposite. But woah, yummy.
Makes 65 (you can halve it or freeze the rest.)
500g butter
1 1/2 cups caaster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract,
395g can of condensed milk
5 cups self raising flour
3 x 250g packets choc bits (You can substitute any kind of chocolate you like here, and vary the qty if you like. I used a 'coconut slab' once all chopped up and it was to die for...)
Preheat oven to 180
Grease and line baking trays.
Using electric mixer, cream butter sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add condensed milk, while beating. (try not to eat the raw mixture or you'll have no cookies left )
Transfer to a large bowl.
Add flour anc choc bits to butter mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon untill well combined.
And you know the rest. roll them up in little balls, press with a fork if you like and bake for 18-20 mins. I found the smaller the biscuit, the faster the cooking time, for obvious reasons. I tend to use a teaspoon to make little bite sized balls, and cook for about 8-10 mins. Keep close watch if you want them squishy instead of crunchy. Both are good though.
Warning: Anyone who tastes these biscuits will be banging down your door for more. Only give them to people you want to see again
These are my reasonably healthy, DS-can-munch-on, Anzac bikkies. DS even helps make them! We keep them in the freezer...
Mix:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour (or spelt flour or wholemeal flour, or a mixture)
Just under 1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
Melt:
1 1/2 Tbs golden syrup
1 Tbs butter
then stir in 3 Tbs oil
Combine:
1 1/2 tsp bi-carb soda
2 Tbs boiling water
Stir everything together (sometimes I need to add a little extra hot water, oil or butter, depending on how healthy I feel!). Put heaped teaspoonfuls onto baking paper, press down a little and bake at 160 degrees for 12-18 mins (depending on how crunchy you like them - DS and I prefer them softer rather than crunchier!).
