found it on the net. so thought I would share it.
250g/9oz unsalted butter, softened

150g/5oz golden granulated sugar

2-3 drops vanilla extract

1 free-range egg, beaten

220g/½lb plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

pinch salt

1-2 handfuls chocolate chips (optional)

1-2 handfuls nuts (such as peanuts, macadamia nuts, or brazil nuts) (optional)

1-2 handfuls crystallised ginger
Preparation method
1.In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until pale, fluffy and well combined.

2.Beat in the vanilla extract and beaten egg, a little at a time, until well combined.

3.Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl and mix well until smooth and combined.

4.Lay a large sheet of cling film (approx 30cm/12in square) onto a work surface and pour the cookie batter into the middle of it.

5.Bring the far edge of the cling film over the cookie batter and towards you, then use the side of a palette knife to press the batter against the length of cling film. Wrap the cling film around the dough to form a sausage shape 7-8cm/3-4in wide. Twist the ends to secure and chill in the fridge for one hour, or until firm. (NB: At this stage, the cookie dough can be frozen until needed.)

6.Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

7.When the cookie dough is firm, cut 1cm/½in slices from it and arrange them on a baking tray with enough space around each to allow for the mixture spreading.

8.The cookies can be cooked as they are. Alternatively, sprinkle over toppings of your choice, such as chocolate chips, nuts or crystallised ginger before cooking.

9.Transfer the cookies to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are pale golden-brown.

10.Set the cookies aside for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool

This is from pak n sav

Everything we do we do to save you money. Where else can you buy the ingredients to make 150 biscuits for under $6! Try this fabulous recipe if you have lunchboxes to fill on a budget.

Heat oven to 180 degrees C. Beat 500g margarine (Sunrise 500g is 3 for $5 at the moment) with 1 cup of sugar until pale and creamy. Add a tin of condensed milk and 5 cups of self raising flour (or plain flour with 5 tsp baking powder). Mix all together. Roll mixture into teaspoon sized balls and place on a greased baking tray and flatten with a fork. Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden. This makes 120-150 biscuits depending on size. You can add any ingredients you have in your store cupboard. A Nescafe caramel latte sachet makes a good flavouring. Crushed up leftover Easter eggs, mixed spice or cinnamon, orange zest and a little juice, hot chocolate powder, sprinkles on top, sultanas - the possibilities are endless.

Any shortbread recipe works well, as does any recipe with a lot of butter/margerine in it, such as this http://www.joyofbaking.com/IceboxCookies.html, or variations on the recipe.
