Honey Cake Balls - Last-Minute Christmas Cookies
· 6 servings
Making the flat cakes
Mix the flour with the baking soda. Add the remaining dough ingredients. Work into a firm, non-sticky dough. Shape it into flat cakes - they don't need to look pretty at all.
Baking
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
Making the filling
Let the butter soften, then mix it with the caramelised condensed milk.
Blitzing into crumbs
Break up the cooled flat cakes and blitz them finely in a food processor. Set some crumbs aside for coating the balls.
Making the mixture
Mix the filling with the crumbs and work into a mixture for shaping into balls. Chill it in the fridge for two hours - this will make the balls much easier to shape.
Shaping
Shape the mixture into balls and roll them in the reserved crumbs to coat.
