Do you have Hobnobs in NZ?

I have a vegan recipe for something very similar if you're interested.

Is that sweetened condensed milk i.e. Nestles milk, if so YUM!

I'm going to try the River Cottage choc chip cookies http://community.rivercottage.net/users ... ip-cookies and the other ones I'm going to try are walnut spice cookies which I'll adapt a base cookie recipe from an American site where thankfully with one click you can change the cup measurements to metric! This is the site http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Perfect-Cookies/Detail.aspx

Minus any horrible vanilla flavouring in mine though.

This really is the bestest bestest place to get recipes. Unlike cookery books you know they work because people have tried them. Keep them coming! pbf.

Argh now I've forgotten what they called them (not in my neck of the woods I hasten to add) but we had this discussion at an 'English' barbecue in the summer. Oh yes something like 'Connie Onnie'. It was a new one on me although I too put NM on bread - but way best just eaten out of the tin with a teaspoon. I still do that.

Many years ago, used condensed milk in the workshop but it would disappear as soon as the tin was opened so I stirred in a packet of Liver salts, and watched the foreman running back forth to the toilet.

Wicked but strangely satisfying

was about to grab something outta the Edmonds cookbook..... .....guess i'm not going to be able to offer anything different....i usually suggest ANZACS or afgans!!

I use the Cookie Recipe from The River Cottage Family Cookbook.

It's super quick and easy and I change the chocolate for other things depending on what's in the cupboard, as I do a gluten free version I have so far discovered Galaxy Minstrel - Chip Cookies to be the best !!
