Double Chocolate Oriolos




Can you imagine a very good cup of hot chocolate as a cookie?
Rose's Double Chocolate Oriolos are very much
like that.
A humble cookie in itself, it packs quite a lot of 
chocolate punch.


This chocolate cookie power house is simplicity itself, just six ingredients.


Blitzed together in the food processor.


Turned out and wrapped in plastic for a quick chill 
in the frig.


Rolled into balls, smashed with a sugar coated glass, 
baked for a very short while and gently removed to cool.
I find this dough scraper works like a charm on fragile cookies.

I made a second batch and baked them much less to see if the
texture would change.  They were softer and chewier, but
crumbled easier.  It's worth it because the flavor
really shines through. 

Inspired by Kim's gorgeous cookies with
larger sugar crystals, I pulled out 
The Polish Princess gold sugar sprinkles.




And there you have it.
A plate of intensely chocolate buttery cookies.
Those who are not a fan of dark chocolate may find
the flavor overwhelming and even think they taste burnt. 
Those that do like dark chocolate love them.
Cookies can be very subjective.
