Simple Cookies

I saw this recipe on a "stay at home mum" website $5 for 120 cookies and thought I'd give it a try "WOW" they are great!!  Once the dough is made it can be rolled out for cookie cutters, rolled into balls for the normal round cookie and can take heaps of flavours added (whatever you like really) and can even be frozen!!
(freeze in a log shape and when needed simply slice off rounds, pop on a bake tray and in 10-15mins fresh cookies for arvo tea)

Makes
60 – 120 cookies (depending on size)

Ingredients

500g butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup sugar
5 cups self-raising flour





Method:

1. Cream sugar and butter.
2. Add condensed milk and flour.
3. Roll into desired size balls and press down with a fork.
4. Place on greased trays and bake in moderate oven until golden brown (approximately 10-15 minutes).

For a less ‘floury’ cookie – substitute 1 cup of flour for 1 cup of custard powder.
  
I like to split the dough into separate bowls and make different flavoured cookies the the same time, some suggestions are; choc chips, dried fruits, m&m's, peanut butter, cornflakes, cherries whatever you want really, just adjust the flour if the mix becomes too wet.
