Chocolate Vegetables

from Dollars and Sense by Alison Holst, C.J. Publishing Pty Limited

For about 50 biscuits
125g butter
1 cup sugar
3 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
1 large egg
1 cup self-raising flour
1 1/2 cups malted wheatflakes (I use 6 weetbix and crush them)

In a pot big enough to hold the mixture melt the butter.  Allow it to cool and add the sugar and cocoa.  Mix well.  Add vanilla and egg and mix again.  Put flour and wheatflakes on top and stir through.  Shape into squashed balls and place on a lined tray.  Bake in a moderate oven for 10-15 minutes.  Watch that the bottom doesn't brown unless you like really crunchy biscuits. 

Please note this is my method, not the author's.  Will retype this later more accurately.
