Chocolate Choc-Chip Biscuits

Okay, so I’m being lazy today. Mainly because last post? When I said the nausea had gone? I advise all pregnant women to NOT TELL ANYONE if your nausea goes away because Karma is a bitch.

Ugh.

So anyway, here is my best cure; not for morning sickness; but for that chocolate craving you may or may not be suddenly struck down with.

The Easiest Chocolate Choc-Chip Biscuits Ever

1/2 cup of butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar (I didn’t have either white sugar or brown, so I used 2/3 cup of raw sugar and it worked fine)
1/2 tspn vanilla essence
1 egg, beaten
1 2/3 cups self raising flour
2 tbsns cocoa powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Method:

Grease 2 oven trays and preheat oven to 180C (350F)

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, gradually add the beaten egg and continue beating. Add the vanilla, chocolate chips and cocoa. Mix to combine.

Add the flour a little (or, if you are lazy like me, a lot) at a time. Continue mixing until everything is combined.

Shape teaspoonfulls of mix into balls and place on tray. Leave enough room for spreading and no, they don’t need squashing prior to going in the oven.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. They will still be soft when you pull them out of the oven, don’t worry, they harden up once they start to cool. Eating them still warm is half the fun though.

Mmmmmmm.

If you just want regular choc-chip buscuits, you can emit the cocoa and use an extra 2 tbsns of flour instead.

Or you could emit the choc-chips for plain chocolate biscuits.

Whatever you do, this is the easiest and best biscuit recipe ever.

And uh, I would have taken photos for you, but I made these yesterday and I don’t seem to have any left to photograph. Sorry.

    In the States we call ’em cookies. Biscuits are what you have with sausage gravy for breakfast.

    No, no, no. You’ve got it all wrong. The EASIEAST choc-chip biscuits ever are
    1. go to shop
    2. buy biscuits

    Of course they may not taste as good, but you don’t have to mix, bake, clean up the dishes after…….

    Were they as yummy as they sound?

    Ha! I said ‘I havent gotten any morning sickness yet’

    Karma is a bitch. Spent friday on the couch.

    YUM!~ I want to make those when I get home today! I had kiss biscuits made for me from my sis in law, I have to get the recipe for you, they’re the best ever.

    Biscuits dont last long in our house either, Jordon asked for some, Nath asked for some and I had a few and they were gone. Thats what they’re there for though!

  18. […] The reason that the cocoa had been left on the bench. These are the same biscuits (minus the choc-chips, because I had run out) that I posted the recipe for here. […]
