Okay, so this blog might be a little bit random as far as posts go, but hopefully you all still enjoy it.
Recently I came across a cookie recipe that is absolutely amazing. This recipe is so easy and has so many variations, the possibilities are literally endless. So, without further-a-do, here it is.
The Easiest Cookies Ever!
Makes 90 – 120 cookies
Ingredients
- 500g Softened Butter (or you can substitute half of the butter (250g) for 1 Egg and 1 tablespoon of Milk)
- 1 Tin (395g) Condensed Milk
- 1cup Sugar
- 5cups Self Raising Flour (or you can substitute 1 cup of flour for 1 cup of Custard Powder to make a softer, less “floury” biscuit)
Note: This recipe makes a LOT of dough. Because the dough is very stiff, sometimes I find it easier to just fold through the flour lightly, and then turn out the dough onto a clean bench to and mix or “kneed” the dough with my hands until it comes together nicely.
Method
- Preheat over to 180oc (160oc Fan Forced)
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
- Add the condensed milk and sifted flour (and custard powder if you are using it), mix to form a stiff dough.
- Add the flavours of your choice (see below) and fold into the dough.
- Roll into teaspoon sized balls and press down with a fork or the palm of your hands. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Some flavour suggestions:
- Chocolate chip or white chocolate chip
- Cornflakes and sultanas
- Hundreds and Thousands
- Malted Milk
- Milo and coconut
- Peanut Butter
- Jam drops
- Chocolate (add cocoa)
- Chocolate with Dried Ginger
- Dried Apricot with ginger and rolled in coconut.
- White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut.
- Sultana and Orange Zest
- Sandwich two together with custard icing
- Dip the uncooked dough into coloured raw sugar (add food colouring to raw sugar).
This recipe is so delicious and so easy! I have made a few variations to this recipe, though I got the original recipe from https://www.stayathomemum.com.au. They have some really cool recipes on their site, including Tim Tam Balls (Yum!)
I hope you all enjoyed this post!
Yours faithfully,
