Choc Chip Biccies!

Not much happening in the culinary stakes lately. It was roast beef a couple of nights ago and that lasts well and Michael likes it reheated with different vegetables.

However tonight we are off to Suzy's for dinner and I offered to make dessert - here is what I hope we will have.
Strawberry icecream (if it works the recipe to follow) and choc chip biscuits.

Another very easy recipe from the days when my children were younger than the grandchildren are now!

3 oz butter
1 egg
1 1/4 cup SR flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I don't use these nowadays as the children don't eat nuts!)
1 packet of chocbits (now that was a problem when I resurrected the recipe last year - however I guessed and add about 70 g of choc bits, dark and/or white)

Melt the butter and dissolve the sugar. Allow to cool.
Add the beaten egg and add remaining ingredients.
Drop teaspoons onto greased trays and bake at 150 degrees (fanforced) for 20 minutes.
Cool on trays . The recipe makes about 25-30 biscuits.

I have also replaced the chocolate with homemade crystallised peel - more satisfying to the mature taste!
