Last week (18/7-23/7) child no.2 school basketball team took part in the Regional Basketball tourny and of course I did my bit by doing some baking for the boys. I wanted to make heaps but didn't want to compromise taste or my reputation as a baker...hahahaaha and these cookies seemed ideal. If you check out my other post you will see I have changed the recipe and made an extra note in red at the bottom.
I couldn't get my hands on Chocolate cake mix so I improvised and used vanilla cake mix as my base. Each recipe can make between 30 - 40 biscuits, to achieve this I used a round ice-cream scoop then cut each one in half, roll into a ball and flatten slightly on the baking tray, this way you get fairly even sized cookies.
Chocolate chip cookies
- Vanilla cake mix + chopped nuts and chocolate chips
Peanut brownies
- Vanilla cake mix + 4 TB of cocoa + roasted peanuts
Chocolate Afghans
- Vanilla cake mix + 4 TB of cocoa + 2 cups of semi crushed cornflakes. Add your favourite chocolate icing and place walnut on the top.
** these were by far the favourite of the bunch. My husband said he had to hide them from child no.2.
