Mixed Spice Cookies !

I made these biscuits last week !
The recipe is similar to my chocolate chip cookies which are simply delicious, I used less sugar and next time I make them I will try 1&1/4 cups of sugar.
Here is my recipe:
3&1/2 cups wholemeal Self.Raising flour.
1&1/2 cups raw sugar or try 1&1/4 cups.
1 &1/2 tablespoons of mixed spice.
2 free range eggs.
250 grams butter.
Melt the butter pour over dry ingredients in a bowl, then mix in the eggs then roll into balls about the size of walnuts onto trays with glad bake then flatten cook in preheated oven 160degrees Celsius in a fan forced oven, cook for 20 minutes then cool on wire rack. Store in well sealed jar. Makes approximately 55 cookies...
Note: I'm re posting this recipe as I put plain flour in the ingredients when it is meant to be self raising flour. I've been making this recipe quite a few years now and yesterday I made a batch and would you believe I was about to use self raising flour and thought no I need to use plain flour, silly me it wasn't meant to be plain flour, they are ok and taste nice but of coarse they are very small , so sorry if any one made these...Obviously I had a seniors moment yesterday does any one else experience them? since going through perimenopause I seem to have quite a lot of them ...sorry again :):)

Coconut Macaroons ! My Weekly Biscuit Recipe !

Coconut Macaroons !
Here is my weekly biscuit recipe !
These biscuits are gluten & dairy free !
I made these biscuits with the 2 egg whites I had left over from making my mayonnaise. It only made 12 biscuits but they were so yummy.
2 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 dessicated coconut .
whisk the eggs whites until stiff peaks add sugar a little at a time them stir in the coconut then cook in a preheat oven 160 degrees for about 15 minutes or until lovely golden brown I put 12 blobs on the tray in circle shapes.Note: because they have no fat in them they will stick to the tray. I used glad bake sheets that I just use over and over again when I'm  finished with them I roll them up and put them inside the glad bake cardboard tube for next time. After making these I got the egg slice and scraped  the paper clean  for next time, if you make them you will know what I mean . Happy cooking ! Or should I say happy eating !

1/3 cup raw sugar.
1 egg.
1/3 cup sultanas.

1&1/2 cups lightly crushed cornflakes.

Cream butter and sugar ,then add egg, beat well fold in flour add sultanas mix well .Put teaspoonfuls of mixture into cornflakes roll lightly to coat well. place on either lightly grease oven tray or like me I use a sheet of glad bake that I reuse over and over again.

Rice Bubble Slice !

Rice Bubble Slice !
This is a very easy recipe for the days you want some thing really quick and simple for the kids lunch boxes or a quick after school snack !
Recipe !
4 cups rice bubbles (I used home brand rice pops).
1/3 cup of sugar (I used raw sugar ).
90 grams butter.
1 Tablespoon honey.
Method : Melt butter ,sugar and honey in a sauce pan until all melted and sugar dissolved then pour over the rice bubbles mix well and press into a tray lined with glad bake .Then bake in pre heated oven 160 degrees Celsius (I use a fan forced oven) for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown in colour ! Let them cool and cut into squares. I use my 9 inch or 23 cm square cake tin. Keep the glad bake and use over and over ! You could also make them in patty pans if you like.Next time I make these I'm going to add some maccadamia nuts .At my sons school they have a ''No nuts policy " So I wouldn't give them to him to take to school, if I added the nuts. I remember when I was about 8 years old my mum made these for me when I needed to take a plate to my Sunday School Christmas party and I remember being quite disappointed that they weren't on the table I was sitting at . I still remember that and that was nearly 40 years ago ! I plan to a make a different biscuit recipe every week so stay tuned for the next one ! I'm looking forward to seeing what next weeks recipe will be also ! It will be a surprise for me as well !

Anzac biscuit recipe

Anzac biscuits are Kev's favorite ! I made a batch last night ,here is my recipe
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
3 1/2 cups wholemeal plain flour
2 cups coconut
1 1/2 cups raw sugar
250 grams butter
3 tablespoons golden syrup
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
3/4 cup boiling water.
pre heat oven , fanforced 160 degrees
mix all the dry ingredients.melt butter and golden syrup in saucepan. then add soda to boiling water then add to butter mixture then mix with dry ingredients. roll into balls very large walnut size then flatten out cook for 15 minutes or untill golden brown . makes 50 good size biscuits.
Tip I line the trays with gladbake, saves washing up and no need to grease trays. And then brush off crumbs and roll up and keep to use over and over again when making biscuits .
