"I have never made these, and never really heard of these biscuits/cookies. I found this recipe for them in an A.B.C. radio site, it had been shared by Caroline Jones, owner and chef at Three Girls Skipping at Graceville Qld. I knew I would have to try this unusual biscuit, and as an added bonus most of the ingredients are sitting in my pantry just calling out to be used. I think you could easily add whatever you like to the mix to e.g. chopped nuts or use white or milk chocolate instead of dark. I am not sure of how many this mix makes, until I make them, so my servings are only a guesstimate at them moment."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, caster sugar and brown sugar, together, scraping down the sides intermittently, for 3-4 minutes.
Step 2
Add the egg and vanilla paste and continue beating to combine ingredients.
Step 3
Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarb together, add the salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the butter & sugar mix ~ making sure not to over mix, you only want it just to combine.
Step 4
Mix through the chocolate, marshmallows, chips and pretzels and mix again just to combine.
Step 5
Using an ice cream scoop, portion out the biscuit mix into balls, place on a tray and refrigerate for at least an hour (or overnight) to harden and set dough.
Step 6
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Step 7
Grease and line two baking trays with baking paper. Place up to six biscuit balls on the tray, leaving enough room for the biscuits to spread.
Step 8
Cook until golden brown around the edges – check after 14 minutes.
Step 9
When cooked, cool the biscuits completely on the tray before transferring biscuits to an airtight container.
Step 10
These are very nice served warm.
