was just looking through the 20 min meals saw this and gave its a crack, so quick and easy to prepare and tastes great

These cookies are soooo good! And gluten free if you have family or friends who cannot have regular cookies. When I first made them, I thought they must have forgotten an ingredient, but they are small and really yummy. I use dark good quality chocolate and they are great.

Totally delicious!! Will use crunchy peanut butter next time. Not so chewy.. might have overcooked slightly. Still, super yum!

We eat batches of these cookies each week - they are so good!! We add a little vanilla essence and cinnamon!

I agree that these cookies need to be under-cooked! I also found that a teaspoon sized scoop could be a little small and made my second batch bigger as the first ones cooked very fast. I guess you have to be careful first time round as all ovens are different. Such an easy and tasty recipe!
