Easy Homemade Biscuits

dobs

My son wants me to make Twinks' cookies later, but think i will give the unbaked cookies a go for a change!

How about cornflake/ricekrispie cakes. Spread on a tin and cut into squares once cool. Add marshmallows/smarties etc if you wish.

After the chocolate digestives have disappeard I am going to try and make my own cakes/biscuits for the kids. Figure it will be cheaper and slighty healthier! And will be good fun to do with them after school. x

DH really likes these - and they aren't baked - you use the stovetop and then let them cool in the fridge. So no heating up the oven.

Unbaked Cookies

Bring to boil:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cocoa (powder)
1/2 cup butter

Then remove from heat.
Add:
3 and 1/2 cups oatmeal (dry/not cooked)
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth) - we use Skippys brand as it seems to work the best

Stir well. Drop by spoonful on greaseproof paper (on a cookie sheet) and place in fridge until set and cool.

Triggles do you mean an American cup, or any old cup from my cupboard? And is there a weight equivalent for the ingredients?

Triggles

An american cup, sorry. But I would say if you used, for example a coffee cup - the same one for all the measurements - it would work fine, as the measuring would be consistent.

I love the Bero recipes - simple to do and very economical if you stick the original recipes...although its relatively cheap to add some flavouring if you want to ring the changes

My best one has to be shortbread - 8oz very soft butter, 8oz plain flour, 4oz cornflour and 4oz icing sugar. .

I made these last night and they were beautiful. I have a quick question though, I used the last of my icing sugar so wondered if it could be substituted with sugar. I'm sure it can but would be unsure of the quantity to use?
