Choc Chip biscuits

Ingredients:

300grams of Margarine

1 cup of white sugar

1cup of brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tspn of vanilla essence

3 cups of Self Raising flour

1 pkt of choc chips

Method:

Beat the margarine, 2 sugars, eggs and vanilla essence together till light and fluffy. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Drop teaspoon size drops onto baking tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light brown. Cool slightly on tray before removing. I find the biscuits bake better if the mixture is cold ( chilled in the fridge beforehand).

You can also adapt this recipe, by making it with white choc chips, adding cocoa, or peanuts to the mix. Makes about 50 biscuits.
