The Cook Blog: Chocolate Chip Oat Biscuits

Hey, I am baking - when am I not baking! Seems my sweet-tooth is playing up again - well not just me - my siblings as well - they love it - it was so hard to get one biscuit to take a picture of!!! As soon as I made them they all came to the kitchen - I literally blinked and they where gone! Next time I should bake more - note to all bakers if you have siblings or friends - make more biscuits!!! Anyway let me get on!
