Super sultana cookies - Real Recipes from Mums

A great, quick to make sweet treat, ideal for little ones to assist with in the kitchen.

Ingredients (makes 40 )

250g Butter (or margarine)
3 Eggs
Dash Vanilla extract
3 Cups self raising flour - sifted
1.5 Cups sultanas
1 Cup sugar

Method

Melt butter/margarine and pour into large mixing bowl.
Beat eggs and combine with vanilla.
Sift flour over melted margarine. Add sugar, fruit and egg mixture and stir until combined.
Roll into balls and place on lined baking trays and bake in oven at 200 deg (180 deg fan forced) for 15 minutes or until just golden. Allow room for spreading.

Notes

An old family recipe. Very economical and adaptable. Can use any dried fruit in place of sultanas or can leave plain and sandwich with jam. These are very yummy and suitable for freezing and defrosting - perfect for lunch boxes!

These remind me of sultana rock cakes that were very popular when I was at school. Have saved to try out with the little ones.

Thanks for sharing your old family recipe. When my kids were little I used to make biscuits with the same melted butter method but had long ago forgotten the recipe proportions- how much flour etc. Your recipe is like finding a long lost friend : )
