Chocolate teddy biscuits

The original chocolate biscuit recipe is from: Marguerite Patten / Leila Howard. Step-by-step cookery. Paul Hamlyn, London, for the Australian Women's Weekly. 1964 edition.

Ingredients:

210 gr plain flour (I make it with 50% wholemeal)

1 tablespoon cocoa

pinch salt

120 gr butter

120 gr sugar (can also use sugar/stevia mix)

Enough beaten egg to mix

(I make 1½ portion, which is roughly right for 1 whole egg)

Sieve flour, cocoa and salt into a bowl.

Add butter in small pieces and rub into the mix with finger tips until crumbly.

Stir in sugar.

Add enough egg to bind the mixture to a stiff dough.

Knead on table top with sprinkled flour with a little cocoa blended in.

Roll and cut out shapes with cookie cutter.

Place on oven tray with baking paper.

Bake 10-15 mins at 190 C.

Cool on baking-tray then rack.

Honey Bear cakes

Today found this easy recipe on the net - suitable to make with the kids - (easytoddlerrecipes.co.uk or allrecipes.co.uk) and tried it out - yummy. Someone unable to resist the delicious smell of homebaking ate 2 straight off the cooling rack.
Ingredients:
2 eggs, 225 gr sugar, 240 ml oil (we found this too much so willl use less next time), 5-6 tablespoons honey, 225 gr sugar (again will use less next time), 60 gr walnuts (optional), 315 gr flour (used half wholemeal), 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, half teaspoon vanilla.
Oven 180 degrees C. A sheet of baking paper on the baking tray. Beat well eggs, sugar and oil in a bowl. Add all other ingredients adding enough flour until you get a soft dough. Shape balls of dough and flatten slightly for the head and body etc. Or use a cookie cutter. We used currents for the eyes. Bake until the edges are slightly brown.
