Chocolate and macadamia nut cookies Makes 8
dark chocolate Preparation time less than 30 mins Cooking time 10 to 30 mins No chef By Charlotte O'Leary Ingredients 100g/3oz self-raising flour 55g/2oz golden caster sugar 55g/2oz soya margarine 50g/1¾oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken up into small chunks 50g/1¾oz macadamia nuts, halved Method 1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. 1. Rub together the flour, caster sugar and margarine until it begins to come together as a dough. Add a little bit more flour if the mix seems too wet. 2. Mix in the chocolate chunks and nuts. 3. Shape the dough out into a long sausage shape on a board, and cut into rounds about 1cm/½in wide. Because of the chocolate and nuts in the mixture it may be quite crumbly. 4. Grease and flour a non-stick baking tray. Place each round on the tray and gently press each down with the back of a fork. 5. Bake at the top of the oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Leave to cool for at least ten minutes before putting on a wire rack. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
