Yesterday I baked this delicious Chocolate cookies and hands down this is the best cookies I have ever baked. Am not a big fan of chewy cookies. Came across Nigella Lawson’s Christmas Cookies recipe post few days back and thought of giving it a try. Her recipe has a chocolate glaze too to pour over the cookies but I skipped that part.
The following measurement yields 16 cookies and kindly adjust measurements based on your requirement. The cookie dough will be super soft to shape. If you have a disposable gloves you can wear them and shape the cookies if you want. Do not reduce the amount of Butter. It gives that crunchy texture to Cookies.
