Easiest Cookies Ever!

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

  1. Preheat over to 180oc (160oc Fan Forced)
  2. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
  3. Add the condensed milk and sifted flour (and custard powder if you are using it), mix to form a stiff dough.
  4. Add the flavours of your choice (see below) and fold into the dough.
  5. 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,
