Afghan Biscuits

It's sometimes difficult to describe the tasks that my job consists of, but today it is a rather enjoyable one.. Perfecting the chunky, iced, chocolate Afghan Cookie for an upcoming cafe being held at an event we are having. But here is my first, and hopefully only, attempt to a recipe i have adjusted. 


Ingredients
200 grams butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 cup cornflakes



  1. Preheat oven to 180C and line trays with greaseproof paper.
  2. In a mixer cream butter and sugar, add vanilla essence
  3. Add flour and cocoa until combined.
  4. Add cornflakes on low speed and mix until just combined.
  5. Roll dough into balls and place onto prepared trays. (i made 10 large ones) Press lightly with a fork.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes.



The real test is if they are able to be frozen in large batches, unfrozen then iced and still tasting deliciously fresh! I will keep you posted.
