• Bake 8 to 9 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be soft. Cool slightly on cookie sheet; remove from sheet onto wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in one egg until completely incorporated; beat in last egg along with vanilla extract. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until just incorporated; mix in chocolate chips.
• Roll dough into 2-inch balls, or drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven until edges of cookies are firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Dust warm cookies with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cocoa and expresso powders; stir until mixture forms a smooth paste. Set aside to cool, about 15 minutes.
• In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix remaining 16 tablespoons butter, sugar, salt, and cooled cocoa mixture on high speed until well combined and fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping sides of mixing bowl once or twice with rubber spatula. Add yolks and vanilla and mix on medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape sides of bowl. With mixer running on low, add flour in 3 additions, waiting until each addition is incorporated before adding net and scraping bowl after each addition. Continue to mix until dough forms cohesive ball, about 5 seconds. Turn dough onto work surface; divide into 3 4-inch disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate until dough is firm yet malleable, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Roll 1 dough disk between 2 large sheets of parchment paper to even thickness of 3/16-inch. (If dough becomes soft and sticky, slide rolled dough on parchment onto baking sheet and rechill until firm, about 10 minutes.) Peel parchment from one side of dough and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutter(s) Use a thin metal spatula to transfer the cookie shapes to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gather dough scraps and chill to use again.
• Bake about 10-12 minutes. The cookies will offer slight resistance to the touch when done. If they yield too easily, they are underdone. If they begin to darken on edges they have overbaked. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking time. Cool for 5 minutes, then, using the spatula, transfer them to wire rack and cool completely,.
• VARIATIONS:.
• Instead of forming dough into disks, you may form it into logs about 2 inches in diameter and 12 inches long. Wrap with plastic wrap to make a nice cylinder. Chill until very firm; then simply slice dough into 1/4-inch slices as you would refrigerator cookies. Continue as above.
• Cookies may be served plain or dusted with sifted powdered sugar. The logs of dough may be rolled in sanding sugar or chopped nuts just before slicing.
• Make a glaze by melting 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate with 4 tablespoons unsalted butter and whisk until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons corn syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla land mix until smooth and shiny. Use back of spoon to spread scant teaspoon glaze to edge of each cookies. It may be necessary to reheat glaze to keep it spreadable. Allow glazed cookie s to dry at least 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar together with an optional pinch of sea salt in a bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift over the flour and cocoa powder and beat into the butter mix, then fold through the chocolate chips. The mix can be made up to 2 days ahead and chilled or frozen for a month, or used straight away.
• To bake, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. If the mix is at room temperature, place evenly spaced spoonfuls on parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing 2 tbsp for each cookie. If the mix is fridge cold, you can roll it into 40g balls before baking. The balls can be frozen and the biscuits baked from frozen, but they'll need a few minutes more. Bake for 12-15 mins until spread out and crusty around the outside. Leave to cool slightly and enjoy warm, or leave to cool completely and eat cold. The biscuits will keep in a tin for three days.
• As an optional extra, the biscuits can be dipped in chocolate. To do this, melt your chosen type of chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave. Leave to cool a little, then dip half of each biscuit in the chocolate and leave them on parchment-lined trays somewhere cool to set. Again, the dipped biscuits will keep for up to three days in a tin or lidded plastic container.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment. Cream the butter and sugars together until very light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Once combined, stir in the flour, bicarb, chocolate and ¼ tsp salt.
• Scoop 10 large tbsps of the mixture onto the trays, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 mins or until firm at the edges but still soft in the middle - they will harden a little as they cool. Leave to cool on the tray for a few mins before eating warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.

Steps:

• preheat oven to 180 c/ gas 4
• cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in vanilla extract and eggs
• in a separate bowl sift flour, cocoa and baking powder together
• add flour mix to the creamed mix in stages( a third at a time) mix well. fold in choc chips until just combined.
• spoon a tablespoon of the mixture on to a baking tray and just let it drop off the spoon, repeat until you have used up all the cookie mixture.
• bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes, when you remove the cookies from the oven they will still be soft, leave to cool completely on the baking tray, where they will continue to cook slightly,when completely cold move to a cooling rack. then enjoy Mmmmmmmm.
