Has anyone got a basic recipe for these please. I have one but it needs milk and we dont have much milk left. Being on a benefit our budget is very tight, so I only have the real basics of ingredients (flour, butter, sugar, chocochips, eggs). My miss 6 really wants to make some today, so HELP me please lol.
Thanks Jan..

eternity04, try doing a search here on this trademe MB using chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip biscuits, or chocolate chippies as the Keywords and Anytime as the Date posted option.From time to time there have been various recipes for this popular biscuit posted so you should find one that uses the basics that you have to hand.
Hope that helps.:-))

also this tip from DG:Bickkies freeze well. If you don't want the whanau to scoff them all at once bung some in the freezer. You can also freeze uncooked cookie dough if you get 1/2 way through baking and run out of time.

Edmonds book vanilla bisc recipe is the tops! Have made this for years, recipe says use sultanas just replace that with the choc chips. Have used this recipe for 20yrs+. as also used by caterers. Another tip: when flattening bics use the round bottom of a small glass lightly dusted in flour.It makes the bic edges more smoooth and prevents them cracking at the edge, gives more even cooking.

Yep I notice the newer copies of the Edmonds book now just post a basic bic recipe, not good enough Edmonds. Oldies like me still have the ancient version. Posting again:
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 with a fork . 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.

Ps: if you want any others that aren't in the new book just ask and I will post (that's if they're still readable, got my Edmonds book when first married. *mine is 1976 edition* )but won't part with it.

That is the classic edition - and much sought after.I wouldn't part with my 1976 one either, and have collected many editions over time.

Buy it lisaaa!. I have a couple of recipes from my mum's book that was even older, e.g pumpkin pie, that isn't in my one so yep it's worth having.

this is a bit late I know (these posts were in March) but the Edmonds choc chippie biscuit recipe is in the illustrated book and they are called Sante biscuits. Also, I've just used the Destitute Gourmet recipe above (thank you, I lost my book and love this recipe) and I only had one egg and these have worked out fine and are very tasty indeed :)
