Snickers Cookies

I am still trying to get the hang of Blogger, especially inserting photos. I managed to get around it on the last post, but that was 6 days ago and I have been sleep since then! Ooh, I think I've got it. Yes! Hurrah!

Anyway.

My second baking attempt also came from the cookbook called "The Classic 1000 Student Recipes" (Buy in the UK or Buy in the USA). The recipe for Snickers Cookies is shown below:



Snickers Cookies

Makes about 20.

63g Butter/Margarine
4 tbsp sugar
1 egg, beaten
150g plain (all-purpose) flour
2 Snickers bars, finely chopped.
Oil/Butter/Margarine for greasing

1. Preheat the oven to 190'C/375'F/gas 5/Fan 170'C.
2. Melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan. Stir in the sugar and leave to cool slightly.
3. Add the egg, flour and chocolate bars and form a lumpy dough.
4. Shape into about 20 small flat rounds, about 4cm/1.5" in diameter. Place on a greased baking (cookie) sheet. Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden.
5. Cool slightly, then loosen with a fish slice and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

These turned out more like rock cakes, they looked like shiny cakes instead of cookies, but they still tasted good. I think the lack of texture may have been caused by the fan oven, maybe they would be better in a conventional oven?
