Method

  1. Mix the butter and sugar together with a wooden spoon. Stir in the flour and cocoa, followed by the chocolate chips - you'll probably need to mix it together with your hands at this stage. Halve the dough and roll each piece into a log about 5cm thick. Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hr or for several days. Can be frozen for up to 1 month.
  2. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Slice logs into 1cm-thick rounds, transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment and bake for 10-12 mins. Cool on the tray.

    I enjoy intensely chocolate cookies and thus substituted 40g of the flour for cocoa (best quality), in addition to adding the prescribed 2 tbsp of cocoa powder. I used powdered (icing) sugar in place of castor sugar. I also used lindt 85% (processed into chocolate chip size morsels). I prepared a dark chocolate icing and made cookie sandwiches. My husband has dubbed these delicious intensely chocolate cookies ''infinity delights", because according to him they are infinitely delicious. Melt in your mouth deliciousness.

    Made a batch of these at v short notice with self raising flour (all I had to hand) and no chilling at all. They came out looking wonderful and tasting even better having only needed 30 mins from start to eating (warm...)

    Made these as per recipie, followed all instructions. I love cookies himself loves shortbread thought these would be prefect! taste like solid crumbly sickly chocolate tasting butter. Sorry. I can cook cakes, cupcakes, deserts, cheesecakes but not bread or biscuits so maybe its just me.

    I followed this recipe with exact measurements but my test batch of four shortbreads turned out too salty, buttery and sandy, and not done well. So I read up a little online and put slices of raw potato into the remaining dough to soak up the saltiness and then 1) added flour, 2) added a lot more sugar, 3) added cocoa powder and 4) changed the bake time to 15-20 mins. This fixed the remaining ones enough to be enjoyable but nothing close to amazing. I'm quite disappointed! :(

    I love these biscuits, I always make them when family come to stay and they never last very long! So easy to make as well and I love that you can keep the dough uncooked in the fridge/freezer ready for those biscuit emergencies!!

    These are so easy - lovely choccie treat with a cuppa. Best to make two batches and freeze one. That way you can lift one out of the freezer and have freshly baked biscuits in 5 mins after a long day at work! Would have 5 stars, if only for fact that can be a bit soft. (But still awesome).

    In oven looking good. Firmed dough up on fridge overnight...... Almost impossible to cut without it being reduced to rubble! Maybe a short stay in fridge next time!!

    These were easy to make, but I wasn't that impressed with the final result, just not very tasty.
