 :D :D


Have just pulled the first batch out, they are very yummy.

I used nuttelex so my son could have some too, they still taste very yum. I'll be using this recipe for the frosting though

When they say scant teaspoon for dough mix, they mean it  :D Mine are on the large size!

The next batches came out much better, roll by hand, then squash in hand, as apposed to pushing down on tray. It lead to a much more uniform bickie.

ok, after letting them cool, I would say they are more like a 'choc ripple' then an oreo. But I'm sure they would make a nice substitution into the cake pop recipe!

So I would rename it 'Arnotts Choc Ripple'  ;)

Oh, weights!
330gm sugar (blitzed)
200gm flour
50gm cocoa
150gms butter

keep a close eye, as they are so dark, they burn easily  :-))

Looks good LeeJ  8)
Just wondering....could you flatten the mix out, then use a small greased scone cutter, to make the mini sized ones, then sandwich with icing  :-\  might have to give that whirl.

Defiantly could with this dough Maddy.

I'd say cook on the lesser side, as they are quite a crunchy cookie when cooled.

I've been looking for a crunchy chocolate biscuit recipe for years! Thanks!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
