Afghans

I have a few recipes for Afghan biscuits but this one I like as it doesn’t have a lot of butter but still tastes good.

125 grams butter
100 grams sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup of flour
¼ cup Cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 ½ cups cornflakes

Cream the butter and the sugar well and then beat in the vanilla.
Sift in and mix well the dry ingredients.
Add the cornflakes and try not to over mix if using a beater or you will crush up all the cornflakes and the mixture will become crumbly and won't stick together well.
Roll into balls, place on a greased oven tray and press down with a fork.
Bake at 170ºC for 15 to 20 minutes.
Cool on the tray for a bit before transferring to a cooling rack.
When cold ice with chocolate icing.
