40 minutes + chilling

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a small pan of simmering water or in a microwave until smooth. Cool slightly. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder and ½ tsp salt.
  2. Beat the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk until pale, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed and add the chocolate mix and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture until blended together. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1½ hours or even up to 2 days.
  3. Put the icing sugar in a small bowl. Shape the dough into 4cm balls and roll in the sugar. Put them on baking sheets lined with baking paper and press down lightly with your hand to flatten. Bake for 12-15 minutes for soft centres and set edges. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then put on a rack to cool.

    Well mine are almost done - look and smell lovely and look just like the photo! Had no problem rolling dough in hands after just 35mins in fridge. Sooo simple i will taste and continue!!............................ Well, I'm not too sure! still slightly warm but not particularly sweet but somehow seems sickly..think it,s the texture. Probably I will prefer cool. My 15yr old son had no such concerns ate his first then my half very readily - so sure its just me!! a sucess.

    Made these one morning before going to work. Took some in with me and my colleagues wolfed them down. They are now on my list of treats to make again.

    I messed up amd left them in the oven for longer than 15 mins, as soon as they cooled, they were rock hard. Taste was nice tho. I didnt make the whole batch, so will try again. Used milk choc this time, will try dark choc next time.

    They are so easy to do and delicious. They turned out exactly as in the picture. The mistake that I did was that I did not space them out enough and some stuck together . Next time I will do them smaller and leave a larger space for them to grow

    I would have rated these lower if it wasn't for the fact that I think I'm partially to blame because I didn't use any exact measurements, and also because it made the best cookie mixture I have ever tasted! My mix was left in the fridge overnight, and whenever I tried to shape the dough with my hands, it just stuck, and got all smudged out. I shaped the cookies with two spoons, and because I couldn't roll them, I sprinkled over icing sugar. They shaped up really prettily in the oven, but when they came out that amazing flavour that the mix had before they went in, had decided to disappear and they hardly tasted of anything *gutted* Needless to say the squirrels and birds outside were probably very high on sugar last night...

    I think these cookies are amazing as they are a lot like brownies but not as sickly. They go really well with a glass of milk at bedtime

    Still making it so no rating yet - just a comment. The first thing the recipe says is to put the oven on, which I did. When I got to the 'refrigerate mix for 90 mins' bit, I realised I'd wasted 20 mins of electricity needlessly heating the oven! Looks like a good recipe though so can't wait to actually get them in the oven!

    I made these a little firmer with slightly more flour so that I could make a cokkie dough sausage to slice off from and they worked really well still. Froze well uncooked too.

    Had no baking powder so used SR flour and it was fine. Couldn't understand why the tbs butter? It converted to 56g so I just added that. Lovely recipe, will use again, looked just like the photos. Made 3 batches out of the mixture, kept fine in the fridge overnight, it's annoying having to wait for the mix to harden but it was easy to shape and put onto trays. Fab recipe but they don't last long!

    Lovely recipe. Didn't change a thing and they were perfect. A later version of this recipe from Easy Cook suggests 60g of butter rather than the 3 tablespoon measurement. I find this easier and more accurate. I recommend these cookies - very popular!

    Hmmmm...going off the previous reviews, I must have done something wrong! The cookies were dry, very hard and didn't taste of chocolate. Threw the whole lot away :(

    I baked these yesterday after chilling the mixture in the fridge from the previous evening as the recipe suggested. I was so looking forward to them but was slightly disappointed, I felt that they tasted fairly bitter and not as sweet as I would have liked. I did eat a couple but will not bother to make again.

    These taste nice but the instructions are misleading. You obviously do not need to preheat the oven if you are leaving the mixture to set for several hours. The recipe also states mix in the salt but this is not listed in the ingredients. A weight a butter rather than tbsp would also be more accurate. They were easy to make and tasted nice, although we feel they would be nice with some chocolate chips as they have a very cakey texture!
