Hello lovely, here's a recipe for a particularly outstanding choc-chip biscuit (cookie) derived from a Bill Granger recipe:

125 grams softened butter, 1 and a quarter cups tightly packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, 1 lightly beaten egg, 1 and a half cups of plain flour, half a teaspoon baking powder, biggish pinch of salt, 150-200g 70% Lindt dark chocolate bashed up into bits.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Put butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until creamish. Add vanilla and eggs and combine. Stir in sifted fours, baking powder and salt until just combined. Gently fold through bashed up bits of choccy. Put 50 cent piece sized spoonfuls onto lined baking tray with plenty of space between each one. Cook for 15ish minutes, keeping an eye on them. They are done when they are pale gold.

Eat them warm or nuke them for a couple of secs in the microwave for a lovely, soft, oozy, chewy bikkie. Noice!

PS Made these for this lovely girl's baby shower at this lovely's place and met lotsa lovely local crafting gels.

PPS Made the below for Ms B and her bub, it's the back of it (always my prefered part) and is a verse from Leonard Cohen's Dance Me to the End of Love.  (OMG I CRAFTED)

Stay cool awesome reader. xxxx

The Lindt chocolate touch sounds good. I need to make some of these! While I love all the fabulous looping connections that are going on with the back of your crafting, is there any chance we could see the front...please?

Thanks for the recipe. I just made these and I'm sure they would've been delicious except unbeknownst to me the baby turned the oven up to 240. Bugger.

I loved the thread yart, and the biscuits. Too swish. Thanks so much for coming and adding to the crafty chatty fun! xx

the back is always my favorite bit too. maybe you could write/sew backwards and then flip it over. maybe your brain would explode if you did.
