Alison Rose’s Chocolate Biscuits (Brake pads)

• 125g unsalted butter
• ½ cup caster sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• Vanilla essence — a few drops
• 1 egg
• 1¼ cups self-raising flour
• ¼ cup cocoa
• ½ cup dark chocolate bits or 125gm dark chocolate (chopped)

Preheat oen to 200°C

Cream butter & sugar (Al says she melts butter first — it is quicker and seems to work the same)

Add vanilla essence and egg — mix well. Mix together flour and cocoa, add to mixture with chocolate.

Teaspoonfuls onto baking tray, bake for 15-20 minutes

We usually make a double quantity as they do not last long.
