These biscuits are really good to make with family and friends as these are really simple and fun to do. I got this recipe from the good food site. Happy Baking! :-D

Ingredients: 

125g butter
55g caster sugar-plus extra to sprinkle on top when you take them out of the oven.
180g plain flour

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 190C

2. Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy

3. Mix in the flour to the mixture and when fully incorporated, mould firmly into a ball so it doesn't crumble straight away in you hands.

4. Roll out your dough so it's around 1 cm thick. Then cut into shapes using cookie cutters and place onto a baking tray with grease proof paper on it.

5. Place them in the fridge for 20 mins to chill.

6. Put into the oven for 15-20 mins or until light golden brown.

7. Sprinkle sugar on top of the warm biscuits and serve.

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
