Ooh, I've made the Nigella ones and they are bloody lovely. They do come out massive though, I could only just fit 6 on each baking sheet.

Agree with Jet that its pretty hard to judge when they are done so we had a few crispy edges on ours! I had to put one batch in the fridge before baking and they turned out much better and more evenly cooked.

Mmmmm, glad I have choc chips in the cupboard, might give them another go tomorrow

Oh yes definitely !! 3 batches minimum to perfect them.

(but truthfully my oven trays are a bit small so I could only do 5 cookies at a time)

I am much enamoured by the idea of pimping these cookies further by topping with melted choc!

So what you are saying is that I need to triple the recipe so I can have a bit of practising time in case I don't quite get it right ?

Did these Nigella ones - v.nice but watch your oven - my first tray-full ended up very crisp, slightly scorched underneath and very bisuit-y and not at all Millies-like. Second and subsequent trays were great. I didn't think my oven was particularly fierce, so I put it down to the fact these are so full of chocolate, it's a bit hard to judge doneness by eye if you see what I mean.
Happy baking!

TY.

The pics of the nigella ones look perfect.

I will try them next week - I have made orange biscuits now (which are a stunning tried and tested...will try something new next week).

HERE is the Nigella one.

I haven't made these myself yet but they look good

Watching this thread! I made cookies yesterday and they were meh. I added substituted 1/2oz flour for cocoa but they were quite a pale brown.

<whispers> I'm considering gravy browning....

Didn't Nigella make some lovely looking one in her last programme??

Shall make a search!

I did ponder that...but how much to get that incredible deep dark batter?

Some recipes online add melded choc - like with the Brownies...but I wonder if it would end up too wet?

just add cocoa to the mix of a double?
