Milo Cookies
125 grams butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milo powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Turn the oven on to 180 degrees celsius and line a cookie tray with baking paper.
If your butter is not room temperature and soft pop it in the microwave for a few seconds until it is just soft but not melted. Then place the butter in a large bowl, add the sugars and beat them together until the mixture is light and creamy.
Add the vanilla and the egg and beat again, then stir in the flour, baking powder, milo powder and chocolate chips.
Roll the cookie dough into balls and flatten onto the baking tray. Bake each batch for just 10 minutes, or maybe even less, as I found that these cookies got crispy very quickly. They flattened quite a lot as well so leave plenty of room for spreading.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting.
Vanilla Frosting
75 grams butter (soft)
1 cup icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
Beat together the butter, icing sugar and vanilla with an electric beater until the mixture is really light and fluffy. Spread onto the cookies and then sprinkle with extra milo powder.
