These biscuits are approx 8cm diameter but could be made smaller if you wish.
Recipe makes 18 this size.
170g butter, softened
160g castor sugar
1 egg
70g self raising flour
260g plain flour
18 chocolate melts - milk chocolate or white can be used
Preheat oven to 180oC, fan-forced. Line a tray with baking paper.
Place butter and sugar in TM bowl and cream for 1 min/speed 3. Butterfly not necessary.
Add egg and mix for 20 sec/speed 3.
Add flours and knead 50-60 seconds or until incorporated.
Roll heaped tablespoons of dough into a ball, place onto tray and flatten slightly.
Press a chocolate melt quite firmly into the centre so that it sits lower than the dough.
Cook for 20-25 mins or until biscuits are golden brown.
Leave on the tray for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Stored in a tin they will stay fresh for a couple of months, well mine did but in most households they wouldn't last that long ;D

CP - These were so quick to knock up, I had them in the oven in under 10 minutes. Thanks JD, they are a great little biccy that hits the spot with a cuppa. I can say that its a first class biscuit to begin with that does not depreciate within 3 days. Its cost effective and this is not the last time I make these little rippers.
Kulsha - Turned out great and I have frozen them in portion controlled bags so they hopefully last longer than a few days! Still got lots of melts left so might have to make more. Thanks for the recipe Judy.
Bubbles - delish! I can say for sure there will be no need for portion controlled bags in my batch. Actually I"m not even sure they'll make it to the biscuit tin - I've already eaten three off the cooling rack (I'm blaming pregnancy cravings).
deedub - absolutely delicious, according to my young visitor (and me too)! Next time I make these I'll leave some plain as the fussiest DD didn't like the 'cooked' chocolate! Even without the choc melts they'd be yummy.
thermo18 - Judy these are so yummy, hoping they will last a few days but I don't think so. Will definitely be making again, the good thing is we have everything already in the pantry, so easy.
Bedlam - Yum, thanks Judy.
dede - just made them as well, they look yummy and I'm sure the critics will enjoy them as well.
GF - Many thanks, JD! Made these to take to work . . and they literally just disappeared out of the container! This recipe marked to keep!!!
Thanks too, Kulsha, for the freezing idea!! Controlled portions is what it's all about!
Kulsha - I used this idea today (large size) to make Luigi's 40 second biscuits from EDC (modified with added dark choc and coffee) then used a walnut piece instead of the choc button. I'm loving these bigger biscuits!
Hally - made a batch too.

great timing! I said to my DH the other day to buy me a pkt of choc bits at the supermarket (yes, yes of course he knew the type when asked if I needed to show him the empty pkt) and he came home with a pkt of melts...I don't often have need to melt chocolate and I wanted to make some biccies today so this will be a great way to use them up a bit :D
-
Never send a man to do a woman's job CP ;) These are nice though so he must have known I was going to post this recipe
-
so simple, i can make when i get home.
Robyn ;D

Finally got to use up some of those Melts today. I was making some bread and thought whilst the oven is at the right temp I should make some biscuits. These were so quick to knock up, I had them in the oven in under 10 minutes. Thanks JD, they are a great little biccy that hits the spot with a cuppa.

Here's one I missed, might have to try these :)
-
Ditto Mandi. I missed this one as well, which is strange because I check the forum every day ???
Glad I've seen it now though! A must-try recipe :D :D
-
I missed these 2 ???
Plus I have all the ingredients
H :)

Good way to use up the stockpile of choc melts I have in the pantry, thanks!

Your DH is not the only one CP. I bought 2 packets by mistake. Used some in the M & M cookies and the grand children didn't complain. Will use some more in another batch this weekend for some more of grands.
Will also make some of Judy's cookies as well.
Next time I shop I will take my glasses with me. :D

Chocolate melts were on special at woollies (2 bags for $7) so I had to try these! Turned out great and I have frozen them in portion controlled bags so they hopefully last longer than a few days! Still got lots of melts left so might have to make more. Thanks for the recipe Judy.

They look just like mine Kulsha :D Can you believe I still have 1 left from the batch I made on 28th March - have only kept them in my biscuit tin and still as fresh as the day it was baked. Off to make a cuppa and share it with DH.

Your biscuits look awesome Kulsha ;D

No chance of them lasting more than a couple days in this house Judy (and that when I hide them from the kids :D )

No chance of there ever being a fight over food in this house Amy. We did share the cookie, they are rather large.

I'm glad you are all enjoying them - thanks for the lovely reviews.

I'll add mine as well Judy - absolutely delicious, according to my young visitor (and me too)!

Thanks deedub & thermo18 - glad you like them.
-
Yum, thanks Judy. Mine dont quite look like your but was a great distraction for a dissapointed 2 year old.
-
I just made these as well, look yummy. And I'm sure the critics will enjoy them as well :)

I find it amusing when I serve these on a plate with normal sized biscuits. Because people don't like to take 2 at a time, they usually go for the big one :D :D They should know by now I will be going around with the plate again for seconds :-)) However, I find that those watching their weight go for the smaller ones.
