Here’s something yummy to share!

Milo Cookies recipe!

We made this yesterday, and Anya and Vai love these cookies!

(The original recipe can be found here. Read about my ‘baking mistakes’ and how I made some adjustments towards the bottom of this post)

Ingredients

125g Butter

1 cup Caster Sugar

1.5 cup Self Raising Flour, sifted

3/4 cup Milo

1 egg, lightly beaten

…

1) Mix (melted) butter and sugar (I actually just whisked both together in a bowl)

2) Beat in egg, then fold in the Milo and sifted flour

3) Roll into small balls, lightly press with fork

4) Bake in 150deg Celsius for about 15 mins

…

Tips:

– When I first mixed everything together, it’s rather runny. I couldn’t shape it into a ball, so I used a spoon and placed small spoonfuls on a greased tray. I put the tray at the very top deck, at 180C. Bad idea. When the oven went ‘DING’, the whole set of cookies were black. Burnt!

– Second time round, I learned from my mistake. Using the leftovers mixture, I placed the tray in the middle section now, and had the oven at 180C, for 12 mins. It was good! But I could still smell a tinge of burnt aroma.

Btw, the spoonfuls of ‘milo lumps’ sort of ‘melted’, and I ended up with thin and big sized cookies. So I broke them into smaller pieces (see picture)

– Third and fourth batch (this is still using the mixture I made), the cookies turned out yummy!!
Here’s what I learned  =)

a) I put the mixed ingredient bowl into the fridge for about 1.5 hours. By the time I took it out, the mixture has ‘thickened’, and I could actually ‘shape’ it to a ball. The ‘lumps’ did not ‘melt’, and I ended up with roundish shaped Milo cookies!

b) I lowered the temperature, from 180C to 150C, placed the tray in the middle section, and baked it for 15mins. It worked! =)

Anyway, do share with me any other tips you have when baking this yummy Milo cookies yeah!

I still need to learn a lot from you guys!! =)

Happy baking and experimenting!!
