View all comments (7)Yummy! Really simple to make , these cookies taste like American cookies. Recipe does make a lot of cookies though. So far I have made 30 & only used half of the dough.. Neighbors & their kids are more than happy to help out eating them though.
but i might try mine with half dark choc and half milk choc :)

Absolutely amazing and it last a long time as it is very rich! It is one of the finest cookies I've ever eaten and better still, made by me!
I don't like these... Just use the normal cookie recipe... I mean the ones with chocolate chips that come out soft and warm... Yum yum!!!

Brilliant recipe, came out perfect and nice to find a recipe that makes enough for a big family. I used cheap dark chocolate and Clover spread instead and they came out just fine.
