Have made Rock Drops once before - I didn't have a Kenwood Food Mixer then,have only had my Electrical Food Mixer and Blenders since 2019,just now in the Month of March 2020 did use my Dough Hook connection onto my Kenwood too mix the butter with the Flour and Baking Powder and then later too mix with the wet ingredients.

Stir in the sugar,sultanas (golden raisins) and chopped glace' (candied) cherries.
4

Add the beaten egg and the milk to the mixture and bring together to form a soft dough.

Spoon 8 mounds of the mixture on to the baking tray (cookie sheet).Make sure they are spaced well apart as they will spread during cooking.
