Choc chip shortbread cookies

We had some friends over this afternoon, and as the boys and I had been swimming beforehand and it had taken quite a bit longer than expected, I was late making lunch for everyone so I made a batch of cookies to entertain their stomachs. (Obviously I would normally open a pack of hobnobs - but everyone knows I am writing a blog now so I have to keep up appearances darling!)

Again I haven't made shortbread before and they were so easy.

• Mix 4oz butter, 2oz caster sugar, 50z plain flour, 1 oz ground rice (for crunch) to make bread crumbs.
• Chop up some dark chocolate to make 'chips' add them to the breadcrumbs with a bit of milk to make dough.
• Roll the dough into a sausage, cover with clingfilm and chill in the fast freeze for 10 mins.
• Take out and slice 1cm pieces, place on baking tray and cook for 15-20 min.
