1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. First, cream the sugar and margarine.
3. Then, add condensed milk, flour and baking powder. Mix to combine.
4. At this point you have the option to add variety to your cookies. I like to split the dough into 3 or 4 different bowls and add either;
5. -Chocolate Chips, or
6. -a tablespoon of cocoa powder or Milo or drinking chocolate and tablespoon of chopped nuts, or
7. -a tablespoon of Marmalade, or
8. -rolled oats, coconut and cinnamon, or
9. -dried fruit; or anything else you like in your cookies.
10. Once the dough is ready roll into teaspoon sized balls and press down with a fork. Place on greased trays and bake in moderate oven until golden brown for approximately 10-15 minutes.

Freezer variation

Once I have added the different ingredients I often freeze some of the dough in a long roll with grease proof paper around it, until I want to cook them. The dough is fine in the freezer for about a month. When I feel like cookies I just take the dough out of the freezer, leave it on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes, slice into cookie size pieces and bake.
