Kiwi Biscuits

Today I thought i'd share you my favorite recipe. The worlds best Chocolate Chip cookies. I know, big call, but I love them. It was the first recipe I learnt and to this day I still get compliments on them. The best part? They're dead simple.

First, we start with softened butter, sugar and sweetened condensed milk.

Cream the three together with an electric beater until it's light and fluffy. People who cream butter and sugar properly mix it in enough so the sugar is completely dissolved, but i'm lazy and impatient so I just beat it until the mixture is noticeably lighter.

Then the flour and baking powder go into the mix. You'll see the recipe asks for a lot of flour, so don't mix it all in at once - you don't want the dough to be too dry, I usually find around an ounce less flour than the recipe asks for works well.

My favorite part!! Chocolate!! Any dark cooking chocolate will work but i'm very partial to Cadbury Energy chocolate, I couldn't find it when I was living in the states and used almond bark instead, in my opinion it just wasn't as good.

Mix it all together (try not to eat to much of it!!) Roll it up in to balls and flatten them with a fork on a baking tray before popping it in the oven at 375ºF/180ºC for 15 mins. Again, this depends on the oven you're working with, my one at home usually needs 12-13 mins.

The final product! Don't they look good?!

Get. In. My. Belly.
