and a recipe for cookies ... took into work for a leaving party once, and worked well, despite being a bit crumbly. Replace butter with coconut cream for vegan ones maybe???
- COCOA SESAME BISCUITS
Makes about 33 or 1-2 trayful
¾ cup plain flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup rolled oats
1 cup sesame seeds
¾ cup sugar
100g butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup ... or half malt extract/golden syrup
1 tablespoon boiling water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
[185g chocolate, melted]
Sift flour with cocoa into large mixing bowl. Add oats, seeds and sugar; make a well in the centre.
Combine butter and golden syrup in a small pan. Stir over a low heat until butter has melted and mixture smooth; remove from heat. Pour boiling water into a small bowl; add soda. Stir until soda has dissolved. Add to golden syrup mixture. Using a metal spoon, fold mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.
Drop three tablespoons of mixture ... or less ... onto prepared trays, allowing room for spreading. Flatten each one slightly with fingertips. Bake 12 minutes [more like 20] and cool biscuits on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Spread approx one teaspoon of choc into 3cm round in the centre of each biscuit. I never do this!!
Biscuits can be stored up to one week in an airtight container.
