My all time Kiwi childhood favourite - and it's great to eat the mixture raw, but make sure you have rolled out the balls and they're in the oven before you are tempted to eat the whole mixture!
- 7oz butter - 3oz sugar - 2 c flour - 1 c wheatbix - 2 tbsp cocoa
Cream the butter & sugar. add (sifted) 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup cornflakes OR 1 cup crushed wheatbix. (Don't try sifting the cornflakes :)
Bake for 10-14 minutes, moderate oven. Ice with chocolate icing and decorate with 1/2 walnut.
