The most child friendly cookies ever!

I've adapted this from an American 'cookie mix-in-a-jar' recipe, so you'll need an American 1/2 cup measure. It's so simple, the 5 year old made these pretty much all by himself, filling and scooping with the cup. They were a big hit with the kids, although I'm not sure personally about the rice crispies! Next time I might try raisins instead!

1. Preheat oven to 180C

2. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup of margarine/butter until fluffy.
Add 1 egg and beat.

3. Next add:
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup soft dark brown sugar
1/2 cup rice crispies
1/2 cup porridge oats
1 1/2 cups of plain flour
1/2 cup white chocolate chips/chunks
1/2 cup milk or plain chocolate chips/chunks
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

4. Mix it all together!

5. Drop heaped teaspoons of the mix onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 5cm between each cookie, as they spread out when cooking. We got about 20 from this mix.

6. Bake at 180 for 10-12 minutes.

7. Leave to cool on trays for 10 minutes or so, then transfer to a cooling rack.

8. Watch the kids gobble them up!
