INGREDIENTS

1.5 cups flour

1/4 cup custard powder

1/4 cup cocoa powder

100 gm softened butter

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/4 cup chocolate chips

5-6 tblsp milk

a pinch of cinnamon powder

1/4 tsp dry ginger powder (optional)

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup fine sugar or powdered sugar

Few raisins ( you can use rum soaked raisins too)

METHOD

Beat butter and sugar together, add essence milk and beat . Fold in the rest of the

ingredients and make a dough. Allow to rest in the fridge for minimum 20 minutes.

Divide portions ( makes12-15 ) and shape into cookies by pressing onto a greased tray

lightly .(sometimes it will spread ,so keep at least 1”inch gap between each dough )

Bake in a 180C oven for 20 – 25 minutes. It will be soft to the touch. Don’t be confused it

will be crisp once it begins to cool.

If the cookie easily comes off the baking sheet it is done.

Best is to leave it in the oven to cool.( leave the oven door open slightly after baking )
