Almond and chocolate chip biscuit

Almond and chocolate chip biscuit

These bikkets are tasty af, and freeze really well.

This recipe is adapted from the first cookbook written by the first MasterChef AU winner, Julie Goodwin.

I tend to make a batch and bake as needed. They melt in the mouth and are very moreish (so only baking a few at a time is a really good idea for me!)

Prebaking

When I say “soft” I mean soft! Try transferring the entire baking sheet to a wire tray for at least 5 minutes at least before attempting to move. Otherwise they’ll get all squishy!
