Cocoa could be used for the brown biscuit dough (1 -2 tablespoons) but I prefer the flavour and colour of Milo.
Yin and Yang
Cookies
Basic
Dough
250 g
butter, soft
1/4 cup
caster sugar
1/2 can
condensed milk
2 1/2 cups
self raising flour
|
Vanilla
Dough
2
teaspoons vanilla extract
Milo Dough
4
tablespoons Milo
|
The biscuit mixture is easily made in a food
processor.
Method
Set
oven at 170C. Brush or spray oven tray with oil or cover base with baking
paper.
Cream
the butter and sugar with the condensed milk.
Stir
in flour or if using a food processor use the pulse motion to mix in the flour.
Divide dough
in half.
Add
vanilla to one half and mix well. Put aside. I return the dough to the food
processor for this.
To
the other half add the Milo and mix well. I return the dough to the food
processor for this. Sometimes I dissolve the Milo in two teaspoons of boiling
water and make a Milo paste. Let it cool a bit before adding the Milo paste to
the dough.
To make the
biscuits
Roll
each dough into small balls, remembering that the each ball needs to be about
half of the finished biscuit.
Put
a vanilla ball and a Milo ball together and then gently roll again.
Place
each ball on a tray lined with cooking paper. You need to see about half of
each colour.
Press gently with your fingers to flatten the cookies / press a
fork into the dough to flatten
Bake
biscuits at 170C until light golden brown (approximately 15 minutes)
Cool
on a cooling rack.
While these are very moreish and definitely yummy, what was the slice you had this week? Kerri
