There is a Muesli slice recipe in the Confectionery thread, on the last page I think. Not too sure if this is right though.

Substitute oil for butter/marg Hi i was going to make up a batch of biscuits and need 125g of butter, inormally use marg now due to cost but I do not have a lot of that either and money is very tight this week to be able to go down supermarket and get another (even though they are only a couple of dollars - thats milk money!Hahait sucks.anyway. I have oil in cupboard, all I want to know is does anyone know how much I would need to use as a substitute to the 125gms of butter! Receipe is just the basic biscuts from Edmonds book

What great recipes Yesterday I made gingerbread, cinnamon crinkles, ginger crunch, choc chip cookies, a banana cake and honey jumbles. I found the honey jumbles horrible to cook though, the dough was ridiculous to work with. Won't be trying that recipe again :s

My favourite choc chip biscuit recipe 500g brown sugar, 500g caster sugar, 150g butter, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 egg, 1 and a half cups self raising flour (2 teaspoons of baking powder to a cup of regular flour makes self raising I think. Double check that). Cream sugars with softened butter, stir in vanilla essence. Beat in egg. Add sifted flour and mix until mixture forms into dough. Mix in chocolate chips. Form into small balls and place on a greased baking tray. Bake at 180 for 10-15 mins. If you want a more chocolatey taste, mix in about half a tsp cocoa to the mixture. Makes about 30. These spread so give them plenty of room :)

Edit: success, I found it but I can't be bothered adding it here as it is so similar, although it has 225g of butter so almost twice as wicked.
