This one’s another Simple Savings favourite. Well, my version of course!
750g butter

1.5kg raw sugar

6 eggs

2kg wholemeal flour + baking powder (half a teaspoon per cup of flour)

3 tsp vanilla extract

Melt butter and let cool.  Mix in all ingredients, starting with 1.5kg of flour and adding more if the dough is too oily or wet.  Mix it with your hands unless you have a large food processor.

Form dough into balls the size of a 10c or 20c coin.  Put on baking tray.  Bake at 225 degrees C for 15 minutes.  If you like softer biscuits, cook for a shorter time.

Makes over 150 biscuits.  Freeze well.
* Add carob or choc chips, nuts, coconut, sultanas or other (diced) dried fruit, oats, rice bubbles, etc.  You can also add cocoa powder to this mix to make a chocolate bikkie.
