First time baking these and they taste delicious, my cookies however didn’t turn out an even chocolate colour like the picture, mine had a swirl effect as I wasn’t able to mix the milo through evenly. Nonetheless they taste great!!
Hi Vanessa, that’s really strange about not being able to swirl the Milo through! I’m glad you enjoyed them though!! xx
These look so good , photos look so gorgeous thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Luce,
What a fab recipe for the lunch boxes and the occasional after school treat or a sneaky bikkie with a cuppa for Mum!
All 4 of my kiddies absolutely love them. Definitely a keeper.
Yay!! Thank you Rachael! I’m glad you kept a sneaky one for yourself too! xx
So yummy! Couldn’t wait for them to go harder out of the oven they were such a hit! I used Ovaltine as thats all I had but it wasn’t enough so i used 1/2 Ovaltine and 1/2 Cocoa, added dark and white choice chips.
Perfect after school treat!
Thank you 🙂
Delicious!!!!!
