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.

Excellent and easy to follow, used weetbix and coconut instead and coconut sprinkled on top of the icing instead of walnut, delicious :)

I only had SR flour so I used 1 cup of that & 1/4 cup of cornflour as I prefer crumbley? (Is that a word?) Afghans. I followed reviewers instructions of ensuring butter and flour were light and fluffy before continuing and I have to agree with the majority. These are THE BEST Afghan biscuits I've ever had. I have had a few failed recipes in the past so am very stoked to have found this one.

Biscuits just melted in the oven and are about as dense as spun sugar...

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.
Excellent and easy to follow, used weetbix and coconut instead and coconut sprinkled on top of the icing instead of walnut, delicious :)
