125g butter, at room temperature
 200g (1 cup, firmly packed) soft brown sugar
 2 eggs
 300g (2 cups) plain flour
 1 teaspoon baking powder
 200g (1 cup) dark or milk Choc Bits

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Beat butter and brown sugar using electric beaters until well combined. Add the eggs and beat well after each addition.

Sift together plain flour and baking powder and mix into the butter mixture. Stir in Choc Bits.

Roll large spoonfuls of mixture into balls and place about 15cm apart on oven trays lined with non-stick baking paper. Flatten the balls to about 7cm in diameter and 5-8 mm thick.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and cool on trays. Store in an airtight container.
