Filling the tins

A friend of ours has a newborn and had injured her arm so I decided me and S would make some biscuits and drop them round to her. We decided to bake as the week before she'd visited and commented how nice it was to have some baking. Something you just don't get time for with s newborn. 

We made our go to afghan recipe. I don't know who to credit for the recipe but we got it from the lovely Nana D. 

Afghan biscuits

200 gms butter softened

1/2 cup sugar (icing sugar makes for a smoother consistency)

1 1/4 cups flour

1/4 cup cocoa

2 cups cornflakes

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees on bake. Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Sift cocoa and flour. Stir into the butter mixture then fold in cornflakes. Spoon mounds of the mix together. Bake for 15 minutes or until set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. When cool, ice with a mix of 1 Tbsp of butter,  1 Tbsp cocoa and 1 cup of icing sugar. If you feel like it you could top with a walnut.
