These cookies were a huge hit with everyone who ate them! The cookie is a bit denser than a normal cookie but still feels somehow fluffy, and isn't as sweet as you think it would be being so crammed full of chocolate. They were a great success! The number of cookies you get really depends on how big you decide to make them; I got about 5 dozen, which is quite a lot. The secret is to use really good quality cocoa: it should be dark with a deep smell to it.

Shortbread Cookies
These are literally my favorite cookies of all time. I know that everyone has their own shortbread recipe, and they're all attached to them, but this is the one I grew up eating and it is therefore the gold standard against which I judge all shortbread cookies. They come apart in your mouth like little pillows of heaven sent from the angels. Light, glorious: shortbread at its best. This is my mother's 'secret' recipe, which she got off the back of a box of Benson's cornstarch. They're amazing!
