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.

But this time, some of my afghans spread out a little like pancakes, like the others were saying? I literally did everything the same as before but this time I pressed down with a fork like the recipe said so that's probably why. Anyways they still tasted 10/10!! Also I prefer using weetbix in these rather than cornflakes. Gives a better moistness or flavour :D I always count on this recipe for shared lunches we have at school, approved=true, user_name=Nirhjah, hs_createdate=1702249854029, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175501360}, {comment_text=love them so yum and so quick and easy, approved=true, user_name=mikayla, hs_createdate=1702249853997, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175392322}, {comment_text=love it, approved=true, user_name=jasmine, hs_createdate=1702249853888, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175347264}]}

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.
