Afghan Biscuits

Confession time, we are a tad bit obsessed with Afghan Biscuits at the moment, but why wouldn't we be? Chocolate biscuits with cornflakes and a walnut on top...mmmm! 



Ingredients: 
200g butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1tsp vanilla essence
4tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups of plain flour
2 cups of cornflakes

Icing:
1cup Icing sugar
1tbsp cocoa powder
Cold water
Walnuts

Method:
Cream the butter and sugar together and then mix in the vanilla essence. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl then add to the butter mixture.

Spoon into small rounds, place on a greased baking tray and press down on the biscuits to flatten a little bit. Bake at 180c for 15 minutes ( if your using fan bake, lower the temp to 170c)

Once biscuits are cooked and cooled, mix icing sugar and cocoa powder gradually adding the water to form a smooth paste. Ice the biscuits and press a walnut into the icing. Scrumptious with a cup of tea :)
