Afghans

200g butter
75g sugar
175g flour
25g cocoa
50g cornflakes
Cream butter and sugar. Add sifted dry ingredients and then cornflakes. Put in spoonfuls on an oven tray lined with cooking paper and bake 15 minutes @ 180C. Flatten slightly with a glass after 8 minutes.
Ice with chocolate icing when cold and top each with a walnut half or a chocolate button.
If you're my cousin Kim, you'll ice them with green or purple icing and steal all the walnut halves off the biscuits afterwards.

Makes 16.
