Teeney weeny cookies


I made this little cookies as a take home kind of thing for the dinner party. I must learn to read recipes properly before I make them as I didnt realise that this recipe made 280 cookies! I suppose they are kind of tiny though but we did end up with a lot of left over little cookies...

Mini choc-cherry cookies

Ingredients
1 1/3 C milk chocolate melts (around 200g)
60g butter
1/4 C vegetable oil
1/3 C caster sugar
2 eggs
1 C self raising flour
1 C plain flour
4 x 55g cherry ripe bars, chopped finely (I couldnt find these in any supermarkets but discovered them at the local dairy)
1/4 C desiccated coconut

Instructions
1. Stir chocolate, butter, oil and sugar in a medium saucepan over a low heat until smooth. Cool for 15 mins.
2. Preheat the oven to 180C. Line around 3-4 oven trays with baking paper.
3. Stir eggs and flours into chocolate mixutre and then fold in the pieces of cherry ripe bars
4. Roll level 1/2 tsp's of mixture into balls. Roll half of the balls in coconut. Place each ball about 2 cm apart on the baking trays.
5. Bake cookies for about 10 mins. Leave to cool.
6. I served my cookies in little decorated cupcake cases and put a few milk chocolate buttons on the top, but you could do anything you like with them :)
