8oz soften butter, 8 oz sugar, beat until creamed, add 1 egg, beat again, then add 12oz flour, 1 tsp cream of tartar and 1/2 tsp baking soda, beat till all combined, add 1 cup choc chippies, mix till combined. Roll into balls, flatten & bake at 180 until golden on top 10-15 mins oven dependant.
You can leave the choc chips out, add cocoa and peanuts and make peanut brownie bisc, or add sultanas and vanilla and make sultana bisc, or flatten and put an indent with your finger and add jam for jam bisc as well...

and again I will post this: Still recommend it and have great feedback.
Cream butter, sugar and vanilla essence together, add egg, then mix in dry ingredients. Roll teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls. Put onto greased trays and flatten. {tip, I flatten biscuits using a rounded bottom glass, lightly dusted in flour. It makes the biscuits a more even shape: no cracked edges.}
Bake 15-20 mins at 190 deg C.

I have found that the ready to use choc chips (no matter what brand) are quite tasteless. I now buy a block of Whittakers dark ghana or similar & chop up 4 rows of blocks (get 3 batches of bikkes out of one block). So cost effective and really nice choc flavour.

These ones are good - the rolled oats makes you feel they are "healthy" (yeah right!) but at least they are nice and chunky and you don't eat half a dozen at one go! 1 cup butter, 2 eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla 2 cups flour, 1 tsp. soda, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar 2 1/2 cups rolled oats, blended in food processor til fine 1 block dark chocolate chopped into chunks (size is up to you!) 1 tsp. baking powder, 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice - optional),
Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs one at a time beating well in between each one.Then add vanilla; Mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and soda. Add chocolate chips and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. (180C)
