They were scrumptious! I call them "Not Chocolate Ripple Biscuits". I joined them with peppermint icing made with pure icing sugar and peppermint essence. They didn't last long!!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Just made these with the kids and they pass the test  ;). Used the 280g rapadura as suggested previously and nuttalex (so my dairy free mum can have some tomorrow). Will use butter next time though to be completely additive free. Love the crunchiness and maximum quantity made with minimal effort. I don't buy 'choc ripples' but am a fan, these will become a regular biscuit at our house from now onwards.

This is great! I've made a big batch for our cake stall today :) (had to make extra because more than usual disappeared from the cooling racks!  ;D ) .

Only some of mine get the "ripple" effect though  :-[ but they still taste great. I think my oven temperature is a little unpredictable...   ???

Oh, I've also found the best way to make these consistently, is to roll the dough between baking paper, and cut with a small (5cm) cookie cutter. They come out beautiful that way :)

This is a very quick recipe to make, it made heaps, cooked them for 9 minutes, the dough was lovely and soft, and not sticky, think I will join them together (if there is any left) with the icing MJ suggested. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Oh, one that I did was pop a marshmallow in and melt it, squish them together, and roll the outside in sprinkles, looks very impressive :)

Trying these now but with a few changes to cut down calories.
Instead of 330g sugar I added 200g
Instead of 150g butter I added 80g
And I added 2 eggs as mixture was too dry. But this made it a bit to sticky so next time I will add 1 egg + 1 egg white.
They are in the oven now (mixture tastes great :) )

Thanks guys, he gave the biscuits the Thumbs up. Nothing more important than the opinions of our own family as they are the one who has to eat them.
