Cupboard biscuits - you shouldn't need to go to the shops to make these delicious biscuits. Super easy and extra delicious!

200g butter, softened

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 egg

1 3/4 cups plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

pinch salt

1/2 cup coconut

2 cups corn flakes

Chocolate icing

Walnuts

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line two baking sheets with baking paper.

Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla essence until light and creamy. Beat in the egg.

Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir into the creamed mixture using a metal spoon. If the mixture seems a bit dry, add some warm water.

Form small balls of the mixture, then press down on the baking tray.

Bake for 15 minutes. Cool on the tray for 2 mins, then put onto a cooling rack so the bottom of the biscuits don't go soggy.

Store in an airtight container.

Ice when ready to eat, and top each one with a walnut.
