Famous 100 Cookie Recipe Ingredients

· 500 grams (2 cups) Butter

· 1 Can of Condensed Milk

· 1 cup Sugar

· 5 cups Self Raising Flour

Cream the Sugar and Butter, add condensed milk and flour. Place on greased trays and bake in moderate oven approx 180 degrees C (360F) until golden brown approximately 10-15 minutes.

For a less ‘floury’ biscuit – sub half a cup of flour for 1/2 cup of custard powder and put lemon or passionfruit icing between the two biscuits. Doesn’t that sound completely heavenly!
