Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. Melt the sugar in the boiling
water and add a splash of vanilla essence. Meanwhile rub the
butter into the flour to form a crumbly mixture. Once the sugar
mixture has cooled, combine it with the flour to form a batter.
Be sure not to make it too wet, it should just bind together. Mix
in some choc chips then roll in loose balls and spread out on
a tray. Bake in the over for approx 15-20mins until golden.
