Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Biscuits

 

The tins are always in need of sweet treats to fill them and these crumbly delicious biscuits are a favourite from Gran's book. You can make them twice the size for soft and delicious big treats (careful you don't eat the whole batch when you do this mind-you) or make small ones for little people's lunch boxes. 

INGREDIENTS

• 250g butter

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/4 cups self raising flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 150g chocolate drops
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries

METHOD:

Preheat the over to 190 degrees celcius. Grease a biscuit tray. 

Place the butter, sugar and vanilla essence in a food processor and mix together until creamy. Add eggs and beat in.

Add flour and cinnamon. Fold into the mixture with a spoon or spatula, then add the chocolate drops and cranberries and fold in. Place in spoonfuls on to the prepared trays, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golder brown.

TIPS:

Swap out the cranberries for walnuts, you can split the mixture in half and do two flavours in the same batch for some variety.
