Christmas Candy Cookies

Happy Monday! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day and weekend, filled with family, friends and great food.  I am lucky enough to have a few days off over this christmas/ new year break and plan to use this time to catchup on my favourite TV shows, see friends and bake! Three of my very favourite things. 

One recipe which is super popular in our household this time of year, is my left-over christmas candy cookies. These cookies are a delicious treat and great little gift for friends and family! 

You Will Need 

180g butter, softened
⅓ cup (75g) caster sugar
½ cup (125mL) NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk
1½ cups (225g) self raising flour

300g of chopped, left-over lollies/chocolate (i.e. M&M's, Candy Canes)

Method 

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.

Cream butter and sugar together then beat in NESTLE Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Add flour then lollies/chocolate, mix well.

 Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls. Place on prepared trays, allowing plenty of room for spreading, and press gently with a fork.

Bake in batches for 15 minutes until golden. 

Enjoy!
