RECIPE: MPs Blueberry Cookies
HISTORY:
We were gifted four of these precious homemade biscuits by a lovely Lady (MP) who lives out Ravenshoe way.
They were delicious, but had something in them we couldn’t quite work-out…
MP kindly shared her recipe, and due to the rainy weather and flooding around the Farm – which prevents the majority of outdoor activities – today the recipe has had its maiden voyage at Strigidae Farm.
Deeeelishhhhhhhous!!
Thanks MP! :D
INGREDIENTS:
185 white sugar,
125 butter,

1 cup dried blueberries (dried currents &/or cranberries are also yummy!)
1 cup chopped pecan nuts,
½ cup rice bubbles.
Dash of Vanilla,
1 tspn Salt.
METHOD:
Mix together all dry ingredients except sugar.

(for some reason, this photo came out looking ‘anaemic’ – they were actually a lovely golden brown)
**NOTE**
When baking these cookies in humid/rainy weather, get them into an airtight container as soon as they’re cool, otherwise they go soft again, quite quickly!
