Why is it that sometimes the ugliest looking biscuits taste the best?

Oaty White Choc Chip Biscuits
from Donna Hay Kids First Issue

125g softened butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup plain flour, sifted
1/2 tsp baking powder, sifted
1/4 cup slivered almonds (I skipped this and added milk choc chips instead)
1/4 cup white choc chips

Preheat the oven to 180 degees celsius. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mix and beat until light and creamy. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the oats, flour baking powder, almonds (if adding) and choc chips and mix to combine. Spoon tablespoons of the mix onto a baking tray lined with non stick baking paper and flatten slightly. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Makes 40.
