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.

    OMG just made these and they are AMAZING!! I found the colder the mixture the better the "crinkle" effect. They don't spread that much though so the size you make the balls are only slightly smaller than how the cookies will turn out (which for me was quite small)! I read some posts about reducing the amount of sugar so I only used 100g and then rolled in plenty of icing sugar. Gave 4 stars as having to chill in the fridge elongates the process slightly but it is worth it! They came out fantastic! Yum yum!

    Great recipe...made the balls only 2cm....cookies ended up about 4cm across...using 1 teaspoon baking powder. Also used ordinary salted butter and left out the salt. Made over 50 !!!....would have been a few more but my 15 yo found mix in fridge while it was chilling...will definitely make again....very easy....and can make mix quickly then come back to bake when u have time.

    Just made these cookies so I haven't actually had time to try them yet but if they taste as good as they smell and look they will be gorgeous i'm sure! As for th confusing butter measurement, I haven't got a clue quite how much I put in, it looked a lot but they seem fine! I found a really good way of shaping the dough, get a spoonful of the mix and throw it with some force into a bowl of icing sugar them turn it while its still almost attached to the spoon, no mess!! Very nice cookies, will be making again i'm sure!

    Great recipe!easy to make, very tasty and look lovely. I used 56g of butter and put mixture in the fridge for overnight. It's not very messy. Just used a spoon to scoop out the dough and rolled in sugar in a plate. Washed bowl, spoon, plate and hands afterwards and had lovely cup of tea 30 minutes later. Is there anyone who was able to keep them for 5 days?

    I agree with the comments that these are brownie like, very yummy! They are not too messy if you leave the mixture in the fridge, then it is just like making rather large truffles! Mine did look like the picture, thanks to the icing sugar technique.

    Really tasty, and great reviews from both family and neighbours. I made them a little larger than intended but it made no difference to the flavour and texture with a few extra minutes in the oven. Will definitely be making again.

    These are amazing! I made up double the amount to take to a party, and will definitely be making them again! Next time I'll leave the mixture a bit longer in the fridge in order to make the mixture a bit less gloopy, and will mix in some chocolate drops. I used two soup spoons to measure out the mixture - it made just over 40 (on double mixture level)

    Did them for a party. My guests could not stop eating them. Next time will leave the mixture overnight in the fridge so maybe the mixture is less sticky.

    why tablespoons of butter instead of grams? - Using a 4 cm ice cream scoop I got about 16 cookies. You really have to flatten them more than just slightly... the taste is quite good, cake-like, (and very rich), but these overbake easily, so make sure you rather underbake them.
