This was a recipe I pulled out of a recent Coles magazine. It looked super simple and used ingredients we have in the house (although I did need more Milo because we were running low. And ok, normally we wouldn't have Maltesers in the house, but these were leftover from last Christmas (!!) and needed using up. Plus you don't really even *need* them anyway).
Easy ingredients:
150g butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup Nestlé Milo powder
1 1/4 cups plain flour
30 Mars Maltesers
And a super simple method:
Step 1
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, vanilla and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until well combined. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the Milo powder and flour until a dough forms. Cover and place dough in the fridge for 30 mins or until firm.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Roll level tablespoons of dough into balls. Place balls on the lined trays, allowing room for spreading. Flatten slightly.
Step 3
Bake for 20 mins or until light golden. Remove from oven and immediately press a Malteser into the centre of each cookie. Set aside on the trays to cool completely.
I'd have probably dropped the cooking time a few minutes as I like soft, chewy biscuits, but they were still really good, and did soften up after a day or two.
