Sometimes you want a crunch and sometimes you want a chew! This recipe is for those chewy days, days when you want to linger over a cookie whilst mulling over an interesting concept. I’d like to think of this as the intellectual cookie, the one to hand out during a deep discussion. Well, maybe that’s overdoing it a bit, but its a cookie that will make everything seem right with the world and give you a great bit bear hug of comfort! They also keep and travel well, so are perfect for this current picnic season and some will definitely be coming along to sports day with us.

– Roll into walnut sized balls, place well apart on the baking sheets and press down slightly.

  1. These look yummy, but is there cocoa missing? The cookies are called ‘double chocolate’ but I only see choc chips in the recipe! They look too chocolate-y to have no cocoa in them.

  2. I’m in the process of making them, right now they are in the oven. But I noticed that they seemed a bit too oily. I used olive oil instead of sunflower oil, could that be the reason? Or is it supposed to be this way.
