These afghan biscuits are creamy, chocolatey and crunchy - they could almost be the definition of perfection! Always a big hit with the kids and, of course, grown-ups too.

Mixture is way too dry and very difficult to make them hold together on the tray! Tasty but too crumbly.

Hi I can't believe the reviews are about the same afghan biscuit recipe.. I have used a different recipe up til now but thought I'd try this one. So easy, and they bound with the butter easily. However, I scooped up a desert spoon of mixture then rolled it into a ball first before putting on tray. Pressed down a little with the palm of my hand not a fork. They came out perfectly and taste delicious. I made 15 as I like bigger biscuits!

The batter is very dry and crumbly, so I added more butter which turned out very bad in the oven. It was just a greasy ball with greasy taste and appetising at all.

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
In a large bowl, beat butter, Chelsea Caster Sugar or Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Sift in the flour and cocoa. Stir until mostly combined, then add the cornflakes and mix well.
Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls and place on prepared trays. Press down lightly with a fork.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until biscuits are just firm to the touch. Leave on trays for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing
Sift Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl. Add butter and 1 tablespoon boiling water at a time, mixing well and adding more hot water as required until icing is a spreadable consistency. Ice cooled biscuits and decorate with walnut halves, if desired.
