i made these cookies for everyone whilst we were in newcastle. i made them when brett's parents visited us for brett's birthday and was instructed that i must do so over christmas. i was led to believe that harry would love me forever if i did. =P
ingredients:
1 packet cheapo (black & gold, homebrand, etc) butter cake mix
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1 T vanilla
1 T brown sugar
chocolate melts disks (dark, milk, or white)
dessicated coconut (optional)
destructions:
1) mix together butter cake mix, oil, egg, vanilla, brown sugar
2) dough will be oily, so add dessicated coconut or more brown sugar until it is less oily (if you want or not), it shouldn't ever be not oily though
3) roll dough mixture into little spheres and drop on cookie sheets
4) press 1 chocolate melt disk into the centre of each sphere until it is sorta flattened
5) bake at 180 degrees centigrade for about 10 minutes or until golden brown
makes as many as you can make from the dough dependent on the size of sphere you choose to use (duh). i usually make rather big ones, but i have made smaller ones for larger gatherings so i get more to go around.
variations:
* instead of chocolate melt disks, use almonds or something else decorate the top (using almonds makes me think of my mum's famous almond cookies)
* use chocolate or vanilla cake mix instead of butter kind for chocolate or vanilla cookies

ReplyDeletejennifer is so clever ! yes, cheapo means cheap, any ole brand.
butter cake = buttery cake mix like pound cake or, i guess, the other close american cheapo cake mix is the yellow cake mix.
