Rock Cakes

We didn’t grow up with chocolate chip cookies. Hard to believe, I know. But we did grow up loving Rock Cakes, an English teatime recipe that’s a chocolate-chip-cookie type treat. Very easy to make.

Prep: 15 minutes; Bake: 12-20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups + 4 T flour
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 4 oz butter

• 2 eggs
• milk

2. Mix flour, salt, baking powder, and butter in a bowl (blend the butter in finely).
3. Add raisins or chocolate chips.
