  3. Add the flour and a pinch of sea salt and mix to combine.

Top Tips

  1. Rather than dipping the cookies into chocolate, melt only 100g and using the tines of a fork, dip them into the melted chocolate and drizzle one way, up and down. Then cross-ways to create a really pretty criss-cross pattern.
  2. I often make these and after I have dipped them in chocolate, I roll them in chopped pecans. These make a beautiful gift for your children’s teachers. I bought cellophane bags, ribbon and tags and we filled the bags with beautiful cookies, wrapped with a pretty ribbon and wrote on the tag “Thank you” after dipping to give as gifts to my boy’s teachers, in chocolate
