Today we are making Afghan biscuits, which are from New Zealand. Prepared from a cocoa-infused dough and cornflakes, they are usually topped with chocolate icing and walnut pieces.
New Zealanders have a real soft spot for the chocolate and cornflake Afghan biscuit. The biscuit, also known as a "cookie," is topped with chocolate icing and walnuts. But don't wait to visit New Zealand to try these sweet treats, which can easily be created with very inexpensive ingredients.
In a mixing add in a stick and a half of room temperature butter. Then add in a ½ cup of sugar. We’ll stir that around a little and then cream until light and fluffy.
Unlike most cookies this recipe has a high proportion of butter, and relatively low sugar, and no leavening (rising agent), giving it a soft, dense and rich texture, with crunchiness from the cornflakes, rather than from a high sugar content. The high butter content gives a soft melt-in-the-mouth texture, and the sweetness of the icing offsets the low sugar and the cocoa bitterness.
Add in 1 ¼ cups of flour and 3 TBS of cocoa powder. Stir into a creamed mixture. Now we’ll add in our corn flakes. Make sure to use unsweetened corn flakes or the cookies will be too sweet. No Tony the Tiger. They won’t be great. Stir together. The cornflakes are probably one of the most unique things about this recipe. The corn flakes give the cookies a distinct crunchiness.
Now we are ready to place them on our baking tray. Roll them into little balls and then flatten them a little and place on the tray. You can use a spoon and fork to press them or just your hand. Give them a little place on the tray to expand when they cook.
Lets get these into the oven. We will bake them at 350 F (180 C) for 15 minutes. While those are baking we’ll make our icing. In a mixing bowl add in 2 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar), ¼ tsp butter, 1 TBS cocoa powder , ¼ tsp vanilla extract, and 2 TBS water. Stir together. If it’s a little dry you can add in another TBS of water. Mix it thoroughly.
The biscuits are done cooking. We’ll let them cool down for a few minutes and then add on our icing. Spoon a circle of icing on top of each biscuit and then press one walnut in the middle. They are ready to eat.

My Grandma made these for me all through my childhood, and when I moved away, she made me a big carton of them to take with me. She's having her 94th birthday tomorrow, in a nursing home, she's not doing so great now. I'm going to make her a couple trays. Thanks for the recipe.

[@danmoore3457]

Yum my favorite, also good with melted choc ontop instead of icing, and I've also made them with weetbix instead of cornflakes yum too.

[@MyHungryFamily]

Weetbix is a great idea!

[@nbramson35]

Great video, whenever I make these the butter melts out during the baking process in the oven. Any tips on how to stop this?

[@Letstalkfamilyxx]

Cute little oven 🥰 will be making these sometime this week 😃

[@aglo8252]

What kinda flour?

[@matisetu2170]

Hi there! Is there a way to make the cookies big? Everytime I make them they’re small even when I roll the ball big before placing in oven

[@MyHungryFamily]

Go bigger? Not sure.

[@TheAbbynz]

You can just make it a slice. Put it all in a 20 x 30cm sponge roll tin. Cook it for 25mins. Ice when cold :)

[@123meenasalih]

In Kurdish we also do the same thing too😋

[@140klana]

Our local cafe here in NZ sells it for $4.50 each.

[@MyHungryFamily]

Agreed!

[@foodiefortoddlers6107]

Hi there do you have a gluten and dairy free recipe for these Afghans?

[@MyHungryFamily]

That's a great idea, we've never tried it. Try substituting ingredients with gluten and dairy free versions.

[@nadiawelham7737]

What's a stick and a half of butter

[@MyHungryFamily]

1 stick of butter is about 8 tbsp

Why are they called afghans?

[@teamfajitas]

It's name came from the afghan pakul or hat, flat and rounded, like the shape of biscuits.
