Crispy on the outside and chewy in the centre, these delicious, easy Weet-Bix cookies use only five ingredients and can be ready in less than 20 minutes. This is a great recipe to make use of pantry ingredients for a quick and easy snack. How to make easy Weet-Bix cookies: key tips This recipe is easy because all you need to do is mix all the ingredients together, shape them and cook them! The mixture will be quite crumbly, but if you squeeze well while you are forming the balls, they should come together perfectly. Using damp hands will ensure that the mixture doesn’t stick to your fingers while you shape the cookies, as the condensed milk will make it sticky. The cookies will still be soft after baking, so leave them to cool and harden up on the trays for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Key ingredients in this easy Weet-Bix cookies recipe Weet-Bix is a key ingredient, of course! This is a great recipe for using up those broken Weet-Bix and crumbs found at the bottom of the box. To give you a hand with measuring: 2 Weet-Bix biscuits = 31g crumbs. Opt for rolled oats (over quick oats), as they’ll be healthier and have a better texture. Sweetened condensed milk acts as a binding agent for these cookies, while adding a delicious caramel-like sweetness. Golden syrup adds sweetness and a great flavour, too, but you could always swap it for honey. Weet-Bix also makes an awesome slice. Try this classic Weet-Bix slice, and you’re sure to like this chocolate Weet-Bix slice, too! This recipe was originally submitted by Greer Worsley, a member of the Australia’s Best Recipe community.
