I thought that it might be time to start sharing some good old frugal recipes. So I thought I would start with a well known one, but one that is definitely a favorite in our family. It's the 100+ Cookie recipe and here it is...............
Ingredients
- 500g butter
- ½ cup white sugar
- 5 cups Self Raising flour
- 1 can condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 180C and prepare baking trays
- Cream sugar, butter and condensed milk
- Add flour, slowly mix to combine
- Divide mixture into 4 portions
- Add desired ingredients (to flavour) each portion. Such as 100&1000's choc chips, nuts and my all time favorite sultanas & cornflakes.
- Roll rounded teaspoon of mixture into balls, flatten slightly
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden
They are yummy and stay fresh in an airtight container for over a week.
Seeing as you wont need 100 cookies at once, the other great thing about this recipe is that you can freeze them. You can either make up the batter & freeze the portions that your not using straight away, and then bake them when you want them. Or you can bake them all and then freeze them in zip lock bags until you want them. I do the 2nd option as its easy to pull them out of the freezer when you need them and they only take 5-10 minutes to fully defrost.
It costs under $5 to make the batter for the whole 100+ cookies and then you just add whatever you like to it. You definitely wont regret adding these delicious treat to your household! :)
