Choc Chip & Nut Cookies
125 grams of butter / margarine
1/2 a cup of castor sugar
1/3 a cup of brown rice, loosely packed
1 egg
1 3/4 cups of self raising flour, sifted
2/3 a cup of chopped unsalted nuts
1/2 a cup of milk choc chips (the type specifically for cooking)
Beat the butter / margarine, sugars and egg in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light & fluffy
Stir in the sifted flour roughly, then add the chopped nuts and choc bits and stir through thoroughly
Roll the mixture into small balls (about a heaped teaspoonful per ball)
and place onto a tray covered with baking paper
**Make sure you leave a couple of centimetres between each ball of dough
to allow the biscuits to spread as they cook**
Cook in a moderately hot oven (180 - 190 degrees C fan forced)
for approximately 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden
Makes between 40 - 50 cookies
