CHOCOLATE CHIP TREASURE COOKIES

Forgive me, I'm in the UK so I don't know what Graham Crackers are! Blush We have something called Jacobs Crackers here, which are dry hard wafer/biscuits that are savoury, made from wheat flour, and are usually eaten with cheese.

Are they similar to Graham Crackers?

Graham crackers are a wheat cracker, but more like a cookie/biscuit. They are sweet, but not as sweet as a regular cookie.

Here's a funny history:

hhhmmm ... i think we do have sweet crackers here though i can't remember what they're called. That wiki got me thinking though - it says they're more like digestive biscuits - and i've seen tv chefs use digestive biscuits here for cakes/biscuits.

Personally I've only ever used them for the base of cheesecakes.

Do you think digestive biscuits are a good alternative?

If they are used as a cheesecake crust, then I would be willing to bet that they are the same sort of thing. Graham cracker crust is pretty much the standard ingredient for cheesecake crusts in the US (with butter and sometimes extra sugar).

Excellent, cheers Kirsten!

Just one more question then - the can of flaked coconut...not sure if you can get that here or not. When you buy cans of coconut it's usually the coconut milk...should it be dry (in which case i'll get dessicated) ?

I'm guessing that would be the dry stuff. I've never seen it in a can, though. I've always seen flaked coconut in bags (same as the dessicated, I believe).

Damn, all this talk about that recipe and now I am dying to try it!

Davey, definately dried shredded coconut! Smile Actually, I was kind of mindlessly typing the recipes in here and didn't even notice the recipe says "canned" coconut. We buy the shredded dried coconut here in bags. Another thing to consider is the dried flaked coconut here is also sweetened...so don't know if you'd have to add some sugar to the recipe or not. You'd have sweetness from the milk and chips, but the coconut here is really sweet, so maybe add a bit of sugar..??....

BANANA SOFT COOKIES

This is a really good way to get rid of those too ripe bananas! Kinda turns out like banana bread consistency. Nice and moist!

3/4 C butter flavored Crisco
3/4 C brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
2-3 mashed ripe bananas
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
2 C all purpose flour

Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg, vanilla & bananas. Beat well. Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 10-12 minutes (check 'em). Add icing. Makes 2-3 dozen.

ICING

I'm including this part though I've never made it. The cookies haven't lasted long enough for me to mess with frosting! Smile I did write a note that someone said to cut the frosting amount in half. I usually do the exact recipe, though, first time around.

6 Tb brown sugar
4 Tb milk or cream
4 Tb margarine
1/2 tsp vanilla
Powdered sugar

Bring sugar, milk & margarine to a boil. Remove from heat. When cool, add vanilla and powdered sugar to desired consistency. You can spread it on cooled cookies or drizzle it over warm cookies.

sounds like i might need to taste the mixture for sugar content then, just so i can determine if more is needed, you understand!!! Wink

i'm going to have a go at these on Sunday - my missus is looking forward to some American-style cookies! I'll report back and let you know how i get on with the british equivalents of the ingredients...i think i should be able to make a passable attempt.
