Chocy chip biccies

• 1 cup (225g, 8oz) sugar
• 2 cups (300g, 10oz) plain flour (sifted)
• 1 cup of butter (200g, 7oz) melted
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 1tsp of baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 1 egg
• Smashed Chocolate bar or chocolate chips
  

Method

1. Add the sugar and melted butter in a bowl and mix together - a wooden spoon is fine, no need for a whisk.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, vanilla and salt together and add to the sugar and butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips at this stage if you're making chocolate chip cookies.
3. Mix together using your hand. Once you get a dough texture, add the egg and knead using your hand again.
4. Spread some butter onto a baking tray. Take some of the dough, roll into ball then flatten a little. Nate likes to help with this bit -he takes a handfull, rolls it into a ballish then pops it in his mouth... Keep them on the small side as they spread out during baking. Also, don't keep biscuits close to each other otherwise they will get stuck together.
5. Place in the oven and bake on a low heat 180ish. They're ready when the edges are a bit golden 10 minutes ish.
