Serves: 100

Ingredients
  • 500g butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 5 cups SR flour
  • 1 can condensed milk

Instructions
  1. Cream sugar, butter and condensed milk
  2. Add flour,slowly mix to combine
  3. Divide into 4 portions
  4. Add desired ingredients to each portion. Such as 100&1000′s choc chips, nuts, sultanas, white chocolate & coconut.
  5. Freeze cookie dough logs to use another day
  6. Roll tablespoon mixture into balls, flatten slightly

Notes

I usually make a couple dozen cookies then freeze the left over mix in 2 logs. That way I can have fresh baked cookies in no time next time I need them.
You can add choc chips, m and ms, jam etc… to the mix.
Increase sugar amount to taste.

 

Try adding some

passionfruit

100′s & 1000s

Milo

Roll them in 100′s & 1000′s

    • Sonya

      I would like to know this too please!!

      • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

        I buy the nestle brand of condensed milk, there is only one size. I hope you enjoy.

  • Bekky

    Also wondering what sort of flour? You can tell I don’t bake very often!!

  • Jade

    I have them in the oven – I made choc chip, sprinkles, hershey kisses, and cornflake ones. Fingers crossed.

    I made these today..wasn’t sure which flour so used SR just to be safe, we made 4 lots, cinnamon chip for now and froze 3 lots, cherry ripe, crunchy nut cornflake and Strawberry Nesquick flavour because my 6 year old wanted pink ones and we had some left in the pantry to use up. What a great simple recipe!

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1332647349 Kathy Matthew

      Yes the recipe at the top says SR Flour (Self Raising)

  • kiki rex

    I’m thinking plain flour?

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      Sorry I’m not sure the reader that shared it just mentioned flour, however I made these last week and used SR Flour and they turned out devine!! Absolutely recommend these cookies!

      • Andrea

        I have a similar recipe and it definitely uses SR flour.

  • Emma

    The recipe states SR (self raising flour).

  • Andrea

    I have a similar recipe and have made chocolate chip; sultana; chocolate chip & chopped dried apricots; chocolate chip, dried cranberries & almond.

  • Fordy05

    MMM….Just made these for the kids lunch box. I used Peppermint Crisp in one lot, Vanilla Mars bar, White choc and macadamia and Cinnamon and Vanilla. Irresistible straight out of the oven. Have also frozen a couple of logs as suggested for later use. Thanks for the recipe.

  • KM

    The first time I made these I used 5 cups of plain flour! And made them the small size it said to. Didn’t quite make 120 it claimed to (prob 60?). The next time I got the recipe out I noticed it said SR Flour, but I didn’t like the texture of them. So I now just use 2 cups SR and 3 Plain flour. And I make them big, so that one big cookie fills them up, rather than giving them 2 little ones etc. Makes just over 30. I freeze them cooked and they taste great in the lunchbox. I used to freeze the mixture in the roll, and was handy to cut and cook.

  • Deb

    Do you think this would work with gluten free flour?

  • Keely

    How big is the condensed milk can?

  • Janet

    Deb, im going to try them with gluten free flour. Dont see why it wouldnt – i use a lot of ‘normal’ recupes and just substitute the flour with orgran flours and it usually works everytime. Will let you know how it goes.

    OMG I just made this recipe yesterday, just love it, so quick easy and a bit too delicious. The kids thought it was great today to have fresh baked cookies after school ! You didn’t have an oven temp on recipe so I just guessed 175 degrees for around 9 mins seemed perfect for my oven. I will definitely be using this cookie recipe for many years to come, thanks for sharing it :)

    Have been making these a lot. Rolled in 100s and 1000s is always popular. Have made Mocha (with cocoa and coffee essence) Orange (squeeze of juice) Cherry ripe ( cocoa, coconut and a half a glace cherry on top) Lemon and Coconut, Choc Chip and some with Muesli added. YUM!

    Hi, I just made these cookies today, and they are so easy to make! I made 2 batches of choc chip, one with macadamia nuts and one with coconut (last 2 batches have been frozen).  The kids absolutely loved them!
    I too used self raising flour and baked at 170C (fan forced) for 9 mins.
    Thanks again for the recipe!

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      Ooh Macadamia nuts would be a nice option, so pleased you loved the recipe!

  • Renae

    If you guys read the recipe it says SR flour!!

  • Elizabeth

     Thankyou so much for your wonderful hints and recipes :) )

  • http://www.facebook.com/kateobrien13 Kate O’Brien

    I’m planning on making these this week, just one question about the M&M ones…the only time I’ve used M&Ms in cookies the colour ran from them and they looked awful, any tips on getting them to look like your picture? Thanks!

    • CassD

      I make m&m cookies (not this mix though) and haven’t had an issue with the colour running, but I don’t put the lollies “in” the mix, I only place them on top. I make them fairly often and the colour has never run this way. Hope that helps x

  • Rasa

    What is the size of the condensed milk can?

  • Ezagami

    We do this but without the sugar, works just as good, condensed milk is sweet enough.

  • Carolyn O’Neill

    Thank for this great recipe.  I added peanut butter to one batch and had a jar of dried out Nutella which I zapped for 30 seconds to soften it and added a few tablespoons.  Delicious!

  • http://www.facebook.com/trina.bassula Trina Bassula

    I just made these for the kids today…and they loved them! We used some variations from the Simple Savings website:

    Sticky date (3 tbs golden syrup, 1/2 cup dates, chopped),
    Peppermint choc (1tsp peppermint essence, 3 tbs cocoa),
    Orange and Lemon( 3 tbs {nans!} marmalade) and
    Banana Coconut Choc (1 mashed banana, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 3 tbs cocoa).

    I also replaced one of the cups of SR flour with wholemeal SR. Great recipe, so versatile :)

  • Tania Henderson

    Any hints on a substitute for condensed milk for this recipe? Do you mean condensed or sweetened condensed? Thinking coconut milk or maybe just a milk substitute……I only bake from scratch as I have a child with food allergies, particularly dairy.

    • jane

      do u have soy based condensed milk where you are? in australia we have a soy based one that i use as a replacement. :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/katiarihan.klobocista KatiaRihan Klobocista

    do you melt the butter? or room temp?

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      The butter is used at room temp.

  • Lynn

    I made these today. I did 4 variations, and they all came out dry and tasted “floury” except for the Sticky Date ones. I think maybe there was too much flour/not enough condensed milk. :( Must be my measuring. Sigh.

  • Cathy

    I have 6 kids…this is THE only recipe I use, works every time!

    What kind of sugar? Do u need a mixer to ‘cream’ in the first step?

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      I use caster sugar, and yes I also use my kitchenaid to mix all ingredients

  • http://www.facebook.com/mrspowell11 Jess Powell

    Thank-you soooooo much Kat for sharing this recipe. I made these this afternoon in preperation for my baby starting his first year at school! I dived the batches into 3, froze 2 batches and made up the remaining batch. I then divided that batch into 3 and did a choc chip, a 100s & 1000s and a m&m batches. One very happy little fella :) Highly reccomend this recipe.
    I put the oven onto 180 and used SR Flour :)

  • melissa

    just wondering what the consistency of the dough is? have made but is really soft, more like a mix you would just spoon on the tray not roll ball? shoudl the dough be firmer? i want to add more flour but not want to affect the outcome

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1332647349 Kathy Matthew

      Sometimes it depends on the butter & the heat/cold of your kitchen. Maybe put in the fridge for a time?

  • Emma

    I just made these for about the 5oth time and accidentally forgot to put the sugar in. They still tasted great though so I’ll leave it out from now on!

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      I love accidental mishaps, I might try that next time too, perhaps the sweet condensed milk is enough, especially if adding choc chips to the mix too.

  • Amber – Aussie Bubs

    Love this idea!! I need to be more organised and have a few in the freezer – will certainly save money thats for sure

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      It really will Amber, that’s why I’m making some, kids need something for school morning teas!

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      it really does save money, I just quickly made a batch tonight before I started dinner, now have a freezer full of cookies.

  • Amy
