Big Batch Big Biccies

30/09/2014 by Alison Asher 4 Comments

I’m a bit of a fan of having a sweetie to munch on the run, but I’m not a fan of ALL OF THE NUMBERS that seem to be on that stuff we call food these days. So most Sundays I do a bit of a bake to make things for me the kids to eat during the week.

This week I discovered got this in my Facey Feed. I can’t remember who it was from (sorry) or the proper name (who cares) so I’m calling it Big Batch Big Biccies, for it makes shitloads of biscuit (dare I say it? Cookie) dough.

Decorated by Coco. I said 'just a couple'...Hmmm...

Decorated by Coco. I said ‘just a couple’…Hmmm…

 

So here it is:

Ingredients

  • 500g butter (let it soften to room temperature for ease in the next step)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tin of condensed milk (minus the spoonful or so you scoop out for yourself- cooking requires sustenance, no?)
  • 5 cups of self raising flour

Method

  • Cream the butter and sugar-  however you like. I did it with the beater because: lazy and also, lickers for the Evil Geniuses to lick afterwards.
  • Add the condensed milk and flour and mix for ages, to form a dough.  Yes it takes a while, but it’s worth it.
  • Bake at around 170 degrees for 10-15 minutes or so, depending how soft or brown you like them. Personally I’m all about a light brown and a bit gooey, like those Mrs Field’s Cookies I used to gorge on whilst shopping at Chadstone back in the day.

 

You will have HEAPS of dough, so what I did was to divide it into four.

One lot I let the kids decorate with Smarties, I know, I know, they aren’t healthy, but kids love the colour. The good news is, Smarties have removed the Nasty Six colourings, which for the record are: 102, 104, 110, 122, 124, 129.

Another lot I added a splash of vanilla essence and desiccated coconut, then put a dob of jam in the middle. Yum.

The last two batches I let my mate Sue (who was milling about the bench and generally just being a waste of space) roll into logs for freezing. She did a stellar job, wrapping in baking paper and cling wrap. If you are anti-cling I reckon they could just use the paper. Then they are all ready for thawing and cutting off for biccies at some future lazy* date. I reckon I’ll let the kids pop some chocolate nibs in those ones.

 

So there you have it: GO.

 

*Lazy? Did I say lazy, I meant busy of course.

 

Got any lazy recipes to share? 

Did you know about the Nasty colourings?
