A spot of baking, with a new-to-me recipe. It's been doing the rounds around here, and it's just so simple. You may have seen it, if not here it is.
120 cookies
500g butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tin condensed milk
5-6 cups SR flour
Cream butter and sugar. Mix in condensed milk and flour.
Roll into teaspoon sized balls, and place on a lined baking tray. Flatten slightly with a fork.
Bake for 10-15 minutes.
These can be flavoured in any way you please. This batch is choc mint, using cocoa and peppermint essence. But the possibilities are endless- chopped dried fruits and nuts, choc chips, coconut, lemon zest, rolled oats, jam for jam drops, the list goes on.
This recipe like the name suggests makes a lot of cookies. I used maybe a quarter of the mix, and froze the rest, Simply rolled into a sausage shape and wrapped in baking paper; all ready to be sliced and baked at short notice.
Any baking been happening in your kitchen lately?
Yum!!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of rolling and baking! A must try for the week end!
ReplyDeleteBloody brilliant! Aha... Guess what Im baking tomorrow. Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm thanks for sharing! May make these with my little girl x
ReplyDeleteI've used this recipe before and it is great. You have reminded me to dig it out again and I've had a great idea to make some up and freeze the logs so I can bake some off when my husband comes home for a couple of weeks at Easter. Thanks for the reminder
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe and now that the kids are back at school there is always rolls in the freezer ready and waiting :)
ReplyDeleteChoc mint sounds like a lovely combo.

I've used this recipe before too, and had forgotten all about it. I'm never forward-thinking enough to have any such thing in the freezer, time I got myself organised. Thanks for the recipe reminder!
