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.
