I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees and line a biscuit tray
- Firstly ensure you have icing sugar, if not make this now along with castor sugar if you don't have it.
- Add butter to bowl and chop 20 secs speed 5 or until soft enough to add the sugar
- Add castor sugar, egg and vanilla and mix
20 secs speed 4.
Then insert the butterfly whisk and mix again
20 secs speed 4.
It should be light and fluffy, if not, repeat.
Remove the butterfly whisk - Add flour and mix
20 secs speed 5,
it should look like cookie dough. If not, repeat. - Add coconut and currants and mix
20 secs REVERSE speed 4 (you can insert the spatula through the lid to assist with mixing OR you can also tip out into very large bowl and hand mix at this point to finish off) - Roll into small balls about a tablespoon and flatten onto a tray - thin for crispy and thick for chewy
- Bake for 11-12 mins or until lightly browned
- Once cooled, make icing by adding all the icing ingredients and mixing
1 min on 37 degrees speed 4.
You may have to scrape down the bowl half way through and/or repeat. - Spread warm icing over biscuits and enjoy one or two with a cup of tea. (Left over will last in the cupboard for a few weeks in sealed container or freezer in single layers)

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:

The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Have made these a few times now. I halve the recipe. Always a hit with the family
These biscuits have been 'kid approved'!
Based on the previous review I halved the mixture and it made more than enough. (I got 32 biscuits, with 2 tsp of mix per biscuit - though next time I will do 3 tsp per biscuit, as they were a little dry tasting.)
I'm unsure about the 'drops' of milk in the icing. With a half mixture, I ended up needing 2-2.5 tsp of milk for the icing to come together. The original Venetians have a white choc flavouring icing, so next time I will play around with that.
I very much appreciated the recipe including the first step of making the caster sugar/icing sugar first. I wish Cookidoo recipes did that!
Yummy biscuits & a super hit with my whole family. My TM5 did have a little trouble mixing as there is a lot of dough so I just removed some & mixed in two batches.
