A recipe from the delicious. archive; we’re not quite sure why these giant chocolate cookies are dangling from a stick but we are very sure that the actual cookies taste very good.

For something similar (but not on a stick) try our giant chocolate and toffee cookie.

Ingredients

175g unsalted butter, at room temperature
150g golden caster sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 large orange
2 large free-range egg yolks
50g ground almonds
50g plain chocolate, chopped
50g white chocolate, chopped
225g self-raising flour
2 tbsp milk, for brushing

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5. Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until creamy.
Stir in the orange zest, egg yolks, almonds, plain and white chocolate and flour. Mix well, then shape into 12 equal-sized balls.
Place on a non-stick baking tray, spaced well apart, then flatten each ball. Brush with milk and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, then using a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon, make a hole in the centre of each. Return to the oven for 5-8 minutes, until set and golden.
