Choc-chip Shortbread Biscuits

This tasty snack is quick and easy to make, the finished product is so delicious it will make you want more.
Hope you enjoy making these sweet treats!

Ingredients

225g plain flour
225g unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
100g caster sugar
125g chocolate chips

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 150C.

2. Measure out the flour and the baking powder then sieve into a bowl.

3. In a separate bowl cream together the butter and caster sugar until fluffy.

4. Slowly bit by bit add the flour and baking powder mixture into the buttery mix and stir. This is because it's easier to mix in, if you add the dry mix in bit by bit. Then add in the best bit the chocolate chips! Mix in until evenly spread throughout the shortbread mix.

5. With a tablespoon or a small wooden spoon, scoop out walnut sized balls and place them on a baking tray. Bake for 15-20 mins until light golden brown.

6. Take the shortbreads off the baking tray with a spatula or a pallet knife and place on to a cooling rack. While they are still warm ,sprinkle a little bit of caster sugar on the top to add a bit more sweetness!

Done, I love doing these as a nice snack, happy baking! :-D
