Pistachio Choc Chip biscuits


I haven't baked for a while due to my oven playing up, but its not stopping me completely! I decided to make biscuits using some chocolate pistachio I was given to make these dull evenings indoors a bit more comforting..hmm..

Makes about 15 biscuits

Ingredients:

150g butter
100g soft brown sugar and 3 tsp vanilla sugar
200g plain flour
5ml tsp salt
50g pistachio chocolate (or substitute for other chocolate or choc chips)


Cooking Instructions:

1. Cream the butter and sugar together until it's light and creamy, add the flour and salt, mix well to form into a dough. You shouldn't need to use any liquid but if you do, just a teaspoonful at a time of tepid water.

2. Place the dough onto a floured board, add the choc chips or chopped pistachio chocolate, then shape into a 6cm width roll.

3. Wrap the dough in tinfoil and place in the fridge to firm up.

4. When firm cut the dough into even pieces, place the cookies on two baking trays and cook in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes at 160c on the middle and top shelves, changing the trays after about 9 minutes.
