Mini Chocolate Chip Biscuits

It is a tradition at our house to do lots and lots of baking together in the school holidays.  One of the kids favourite thing to bake is chocolate chip biscuits.  They can almost make them independently from scratch with me just hovering in the background.  We have a favourite recipe that we use.  It is super light and when you're trying to stay healthy and watch what you eat (like me!) the recipe is a real winner.
