Chocolate Chip Biscuits-Aussie Style
"These are a very "moresome" bikky:) I used to sell these at the local markets, and they always sold out first. Very easy to make, and to really show off, you can throw a handful of chopped macadamia nuts in, gives them an extra crunch!!!
PLEASE NOTE, THESE ARE NOTHING LIKE AMERICAN CHOC CHIP COOKIES, WHICH ARE SOFT AND CHEWY.
I have also added coco powder to the mix and used white chips, looks good, but the white chips stay very hard."

These are amazing! I made a double batch, simply because I had no other use for the other half a can on condensed milk, and I'm glad I did! They are a huge hit with my kids! I left out the macadamia nuts, but added a little extra of the choc chips. When I was putting them on the trays, I made some by rolling them into little balls and let them flatten naturally in the oven, and the rest i just dropped off the spoon. I took photos of both as I wasn't sure which you would like best, but personally I think the drop ones look better, they look rustic and yummy! [Made for Aus/NZ Swap] -
Wow, these are so good and very simple to make (even when making your own self raising flour and sweetened condensed milk). After folding in the flour, I went to my baking cabinet to get some chocolate chips only to discover that the kitchen gremlins (AKA my DH and children) had eaten them all. I didn't have time to run to the store, so I chopped up some dried apricots and folded them in. Yummy!!! And they blend so nicely with the macadamia nuts. This is a definite keeper. Made and reviewed for the 31st AUS/NZ Recipe Swap. NOTE: Just had to add that EVERYONE at the recital loved these...they were the first to go! -
This recipe is very good. I must say that I was a little confused to if the recipe needed evaporated milk or sweet condensed milk. But I tried the recipe with sweet condensed milk and they turned out fine. Will make again soon!!!

Wow what a great biscuit. We loved this crispy little treat. These biscuits were quick and really easy to make, with a beautiful texture. I made exactly as written but half the batch had nuts and half didn't , as my dh is allergic. Thanks so much for sharing this gem mummamills. Made for Aussie Swap Jan 2014. -
*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #70* The ONLY cookie I made for the holidays ! Not at all like my usual choc-chips, but a new Go-To --- very tasty and the DGKs really enjoyed them ! Thanks for posting, mummamills -- and my apologies for such a late review.

You are right in stating these are nothing like American Chocolate Chip Cookies. :) When I first chose this recipe for the July 2010 Aussie/NZ recipe swap I didn't notice it is also egg free! Loved that - in case I don't have any on hand - I can still make cookies! The kids love these. As someone else said - the condensed milk does give a different flavor than what we would expect from a chocolate chip cookie. I doubled the recipe so as to use a whole can of milk. I also split the chocolate chips between mini semi sweet and peanut butter chips per request of son #3. Instead of macadamias we used walnuts. Thanks for sharing! -
Made these exactly to the recipe but chose not to add the optional nuts. These are good, but very different than any other chocolate chip cookie(biscuit) I have had before. I loved using the self rising flour, less measuring and mixing!! I will now use this flour to make these cookies, but use brown sugar, vanilla and eggs in place of the condensed milk, as it gives a total different taste and texture. Thanks mumma for posting and introducing me to the self rising flour!!!
