Milo and Coconut Cookies

We are the midst of a big back to school bake off at the moment. I am madly stocking the freeze with sweet and savory lunch box items that will hopefully last us a few weeks if not a month.

One of the things we baked were Milo and Coconut Cookies (or biscuits). I used an old Chocolate biscuit recipe I had scribbled in my recipe notebook and instead of cocoa powder I used Milo.

I think they turned out great. If you try them, please let me know how you went. 

Ingredients: 

• 125g butter
• 1 egg
• 1 cup self raising flour
• 1 cup shredded (or desiccated) coconut
• 2 tablespoons Milo
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
•  3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup choc chips

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
2. Melt butter
3. Mix all dry ingredients in bowl
4. Create a well in the middle of dry ingredients and add melted butter, egg and vanilla essence.
5. Mix well
6. Roll dough into table spoon size balls and place a lined baking tray. Remember to allow space for the cookies to expand. 
7. Cook for approx 10-15 minutes depending on your oven
8. Hide from the kids or you won't have any left for school lunches.
