    There's a reciepe somewhere on here for a fridge dough, i've made it several times and it's great. You basically make the dough up and wrap in cling film and keep in the fridge for up to a month, just cut off bits as you want to cook them.

    I've used choccy raisins instead of fruit in them, even used mini eggs left over from easter.

    I remember making these at school and they are absolutely scrummy. Havent made them for years but I don't half fancy some now!

    Melting Moments

    4oz butter
    4oz vegetable fat
    6oz sugar
    1 egg
    10 oz flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    4 tbs rolled oats

    Cream the butter, fat and sugar together with a wooden spoon until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix in. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Spread the oats out on a plate, divide the dough into 18 portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball in the oats to cover and place them well spaced on a baking sheet. Flatten each ball with the prongs of a fork. Place in a fridge for at least 30 minutes or until you are ready to cook. Heat oven to Gas Mark 4, 180ºC and place the cookies in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Put on a cooling rack and they will harden as they cool.

    Yum!!!

    Thanks for the reminder!

    cookie dough will freeze fror about 6 weeks, just make sure it is well wrapped to prevent it absorbing odours from other foods

    Yes but if no one sees you eat them then the calories don't count :rotfl:

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to cook the whole lot and then freeze the cooked result? (i.e. oven on only once!)
