Posting for Fairy Nuff to have a look at. These are a very popular biscuit (cookie) in Australia, and this tastes pretty much like the bought variety.

raspberry jam or other jam

Filling

60 g butter
3/4 cup icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons milk

Directions

1
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add the egg and vanilla and beat well.

These biccies taste far better than the bought variety. I am pleased to have found a recipe as I used to make them years ago and lost the recipe - this is the exact same recipe I lost. BEAUTIFUL BICCIES!!!

Fantastic, tasted like butter cookies, delicious chewy crunch. I used dessicated coconut. I formed the cookie too big, and didn't change shape when baked. I made 29 cookies (14 sanwiched + 1 extra) i halved the frosting and turned out just enough for the 14 pairs.UPDATE: use a smaller scoop this time and flatten with a glass dipped in flour. Made 15 pairs of cookies

This is a great recipe, just like the original. In fact my sister said they tasted exactly like the original, but better!

Jan - these ARE Monte Carlos!!! They taste like them and they even look like them - I was so happy with how they turned out.I put them on a plate to take a photo and the kids all asked for a Monte (without realising that I'd made them!!)...you can't get more authentic than that!! I made the recipe exactly as written but I left 12 plain and dunked them in melted chocolate...Chocolate Montes. An excellent recipe that I will use a lot as I'm always after something to make for the kids school snacks - as well as a yummy treat with a cuppa!
