These are my favourite at the mo,

Ginger Cookies.

125 g butter
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons golden syrup
1 egg beaten
2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons ground ginger
Preheat oven 180 deg C

Melt butter, sugar and golden syrup over a low heat. Cool slightly and add the beaten egg and sifted dry ingredients. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Roll into small balls, roll in extra sugar. Flatten with a fork and bake until golden. The longer you can leave them in the oven the crisper they will be. Bake at 170 C for 20-25 minutes.this length of cooking time comes highly recommended, they should be dark in colour with a crackled top.Great for dunking.

I love the anzac biscuit recipe from the heatlhy food guide website and I dont normally like biscuits.

Otherwise I make afghans for other people with hazlenuts and slivered almonds in them or a childs version where I take out the cornflakes and replace them with coco pops and pop in a tube of mini m&m's and they always go down a treat :)

Hey wildflower I went to the Nestle website and the only Caramel Chip Biscuits I could see had no condensed milk version, can you advise where to find it, thanks

I made custard creams today using my Gran's recipe - even hubby commented on how yummy they are.(And I don't think my oven was "sharp" enough, but they still turned out fine)

Lemon Shortbread - and heavy handed with the lemon juice & zest.
