Chocolate Chip Biscuit Cookies (egg free)

These were an accident that I managed to do one morning at 3 am when my husband was leaving for a month and I wanted to send him off with a treat. I forgot the eggs and this is what happened. A sweet and deliciously chocolatey biscuit! I had rave reviews from it, and my husband "claims" these were no accident!

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
2 sticks of butter
2 teaspoons of olive oil (if you are using margarine don't add the oil, it just adds more moisture when using butter, but margarine has enough oil in it)
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1/4 cup of milk
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

My mixer was stashed away so I did this by hand, but by all means if you have a mixer USE IT! Cream the butter and sugar together (and the oil if using butter). Next add the vanilla. Slowly beat in the flour and add the milk slowly. It will be like a drop biscuit type of batter a little more wet than cookie dough but not by much. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
Nuts and M&Ms or what ever you want can be folded in as well.
bake at 375* for 10 minutes or until its a yellowish golden and just the tips of the peaks in the dough are browning. Pull out let rest for 5 min and cool on a rack. Try not to melt your oven like I did :) Adding cocoa powder is delicious too!

  1. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not leave the cookies on the pan for longer than 3-5 minutes, they will stick. And semi-sweet tastes the best over milk chocolate, unless you prefer the super sweets.
