These biscuits are approx 8cm diameter but could be made smaller if you wish.
Recipe makes 18 this size.
170g butter, softened
160g castor sugar
1 egg
70g self raising flour
260g plain flour
18 chocolate melts - milk chocolate or white can be used
Preheat oven to 180
oC, fan-forced. Line a tray with baking paper.
Place butter and sugar in TM bowl and cream for
1 min/speed 3. Butterfly not necessary.
Add egg and mix for
20 sec/speed 3.
Add flours and knead
50-60 seconds or until incorporated.
Roll heaped tablespoons of dough into a ball, place onto tray and flatten slightly.
Press a chocolate melt quite firmly into the centre so that it sits lower than the dough.
Cook for
20-25 mins or until biscuits are golden brown.
Leave on the tray for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Stored in a tin they will stay fresh for a couple of months, well mine did but in most households they wouldn't last that long
members' commentsCP - These were so quick to knock up, I had them in the oven in under 10 minutes. Thanks JD, they are a great little biccy that hits the spot with a cuppa. I can say that its a first class biscuit to begin with that does not depreciate within 3 days. Its cost effective and this is not the last time I make these little rippers.
Kulsha - Turned out great and I have frozen them in portion controlled bags so they hopefully last longer than a few days! Still got lots of melts left so might have to make more. Thanks for the recipe Judy.
Bubbles - delish! I can say for sure there will be no need for portion controlled bags in my batch. Actually I"m not even sure they'll make it to the biscuit tin - I've already eaten three off the cooling rack (I'm blaming pregnancy cravings).
deedub - absolutely delicious, according to my young visitor (and me too)! Next time I make these I'll leave some plain as the fussiest DD didn't like the 'cooked' chocolate! Even without the choc melts they'd be yummy.
thermo18 - Judy these are so yummy, hoping they will last a few days but I don't think so. Will definitely be making again, the good thing is we have everything already in the pantry, so easy.
Bedlam - Yum, thanks Judy.
dede - just made them as well, they look yummy and I'm sure the critics will enjoy them as well.
GF - Many thanks, JD! Made these to take to work . . and they literally just disappeared out of the container! This recipe marked to keep!!!
Thanks too, Kulsha, for the freezing idea!! Controlled portions is what it's all about!
Kulsha - I used this idea today (large size) to make Luigi's 40 second biscuits from EDC (modified with added dark choc and coffee) then used a walnut piece instead of the choc button. I'm loving these bigger biscuits!
Hally - made a batch too.
