Ahhh the good ol’ critic drugs special <3 I’m sure this week when you flicked to the recipes you were expecting brownies, but I love to keep you all on your toes. With this recipe you’re baking ;) you get that hit of chocolatey goodness, and you’ve whipped up the perfect munchy for all possible occasions. They are quick and easy to make and stay fresh for the whole week. Sounds like a good time to me so give ‘em a go!
Ingredients
Bikkie
- 200 g butter (softened)
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups cornflakes
Icing
- 1 ½ cup icing sugar
- 25 g butter (softened)
- 2 heaped Tbsp cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp vanilla essence
- Boiling water
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180℃ and set aside a large tray lined with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and white sugar together until light and fluffy. Approx 5 mins. (Cream the butter and sugar using an electric beater or a whisk).
- Add in the flour, and cocoa powder, folding carefully until combined. From here, gently mix in the cornflakes.
- Once combined, place golf ball sized spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared tray.
- Place the tray into the oven and bake for 15 mins. The biscuits should still be soft, but will hold their shape and are set. (don’t over bake or you are in for some dryyyyyy bikkies! Speaking from experience oops)
- Set the tray aside to let the biscuits cool completely.
- Once cooled, make your icing. Begin by placing the icing sugar, cocoa powder and softened butter into a small bowl. Mix these together until they have formed a chocolatey buttery paste.
- From here mix in the vanilla essence and 1 Tbsp of boiling water.
- If the icing is too thick to spread, add another 1 Tbsp of boiling water. If you find it is too runny, add in a dash more icing sugar. Play with these until your desired consistency is achieved.
- Finish your bikkies by spooning the icing on top, and decorate with a piece of walnut or corn flake! Enjoy :)
