Choc Chip Biscuits

It's a cookie kinda day - cool, overcast, time for some comfort food and a cup of tea, good book and a day on the lounge.....or, I could take these to work next week....




125g butter, softened
1/2 cup castor sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1  1/2 cup self raising flour
1 cup choc bits (I use white, dark and milk combined)

Preheat oven 180Âșc.  In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until smooth. Add egg - beat further so that the mix is smooth. Add vanilla essence - beat. Add flour and combine. Add choc chips. Place small rolled balls of mixture on lined tray, bake 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool on trays.

This recipe is very similar to the peanut butter biscuits - with this one I did not add any extra flour as I did for the other recipe. As a result, the mixture was stickier and quite wet.





When I cooked them up - they spread further than the peanut butter mixture. 





Once out of the oven, they were a much chewier texture - if you like crisp biscuits, I suggest adding more flour to make a drier mixture. You can see comparatively in the images above how they much they spread.
