Lots of Biscuits

 This is a great basic biscuit recipe, from my very dear friend, the late Mrs Pat Newey.  To make different flavours, add choc bits, corn flakes, ginger, sultanas or whatever grabs your fancy.   This is our all time family favourite choc chip cookie recipe.

Ingredients

500 g butter

1 1/4 cups caster sugar

1 tin condensed milk

5 cups self raising flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

Pinch of salt

500 g choc chips/MMs/smarties/leftover choc slabs

Method

Heat oven to 180 Celsius.

Grease oven trays or use baking paper.

Cream butter and castor sugar till light and creamy.

Add condensed milk and beat well.

Mix in self raising flour, vanilla and salt.

Mix in choc chips.

 

Roll into balls (or using a ice cream scoop, scoop up a ball of dough, and roll into balls).

Decorate with hundreds and thousands or MMs. Place on oven tray.

Cook for 20 mins.

Enjoy!
