Ever Heard of Copha?

Dennis picked up a cookbook at an Op Shop.  It's entitled The Big Book of Beautiful Biscuits by The Australian Women's Weekly.  Most of the recipes are sweet but there are also some savories.  Dennis baked the chocolate chip biscuits (aka cookies) and shared them with his friends and family.

While perusing this book, I noticed an ingredient called Copha.  I had no idea what was meant by it so I did a google search to find out.  It's a hydrogenated coconut fat/shortening and it's known as Kremelta in New Zealand.  So now I know what to buy to make White Christmas and Chocolate Crackles.

You learn something new every day.  So that's what I learned today!
