Better than average biscuits. Make twelve for morning tea or smaller with coffee for the end of a meal.
The idea comes from jennycancook - the most WASP/Middle America cooking blog ever BUT warm, witty with great ideas nonetheless.
And whenever possible, get help - cook with a friend.

​And the "Gin & Tonic" award goes to the first person to recognise that as well as being easy, elegant and wholesome, these biscuits are gluten-free! Don't eat them because they're "healthy", eat them because they're delicious.

Almond, Pine Nuts & Chocolate biscuits
 3 Tbs softened butter (or try 45 gm)
 1/4 cup white sugar
 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  1 egg
 1 1/2  cups almond meal (blanched or not)
 1/2  teaspoon baking power
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts (or other nut, chopped)
 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Preheat oven to 170° C (350˚F)
  • Have the nuts browned in a pan and cooled.
  • Have ready a prepared baking tray.  (I use a silicon mat.)
  • Beat together butter, sugars, egg until creamy ( use electric beaters, if you wish).
  • Stir in almond meal, baking soda, salt - just enough to blend, followed by the nuts and chocolate chips.
  • Take spoonfuls of mixture, spaced to allow spreading, (12 biscuits or smaller petits fours). I use an ice-cream scoop.  Flatten slightly.
  • Bake for approx. 12 minutes.  They are delicate so allow to cool a little before placing on a cooling rack.
