Delicious go to recipe for biccies

I am a huge believer in comfort food.

I am only skinny when I am really stressed so skinny is not something I aspire to – comfort is!

My mother and sister effortlessly throw together fabulous food but cooking didn’t seem to come hardwired into my DNA. In my youth I made things even the chooks refused to touch. These days using a LOT of delicious ingredients is my fail safe! This is my favourite go to recipe for biccies.

It has its origins in a fifties CWA cookbook but I have dispensed with all the tricky bits!

Just use the base and add whatever you have/are in the mood for.

I make it in one bowl so there is less clean up – melt the butter for about 50 seconds in the microwave, then add vanilla and sugar, stir in eggs and flour. Then the juicy bits. Cook for about 15minutes in a 180 deg oven – until nice and brown. Makes about 2 trays.

Base Recipe

250g butter

Good splash of vanilla extract

1 cup sugar

3 eggs

3 cups of self raising flour
