  Very delicious, though tastes much better with only half of sugar used. The last sentence "Can be stored in a tin for up to 3 days" is way too unrealistic - all cookies were gone in 10 minutes. : )

  So easy to make, made double choc chip and left out the nuts... they were gooey and crunchy! Everyone liked them, funnily enough someone asked me too if I was setting up in competition with millies!

  I made these with walnuts instead, and very good they are too. I'm taking them over to my hard-working boyfriend tonight - it took great restraint not to eat all of them!

  Wow! The g&b choc bar I had was 150g and that was plenty, the bits I stick into the top just melted so I wouldn't do that again. Hope my work collegues enjoy them tomorow as much as the bairns have tonight!

  i had never been successfully baked cookies- until i tired this recipe. very easy. I adapted the recipe though. and i have to say that it taste much nicer. less sugar - only put about 70 g. less butter- half of the butter recommended i used 100 g of dark chocolate and 100 g of milk chocolate (chopped) plus 1 tsp of cinnamon.the cinnamon gives a v nice smell and taste. superb! cant wait for my flatmate to taste them!

  lovely! I would recommend using 3 baking sheets or more of poss as the cookies really pread - mine are HUGE and square. I didn't use the pecans and so used white cocolate chips instead - absolutely beautiful! The cookies look like they wrinkly but they are so tasty!

  I didn't have many of the ingredients but went ahead anyway as needed to occupy a bored 6 year old! Having made them with only 50g sugar, white choc drops and without bicarb or dark choc and nuts they are delicious (ugly - flat and too brown on the edges, but delicious!) Will definately make again.

  These biscuits went down very well at work on cake-rota Monday. They did spread out a lot on the baking tray so make sure to leave plenty of room between biscuits.
