Chocolate Cookies

With this freezing weather, it’s easy to imagine ourselves enjoying some delicious chocolate cookies with a good tea in front of our fireplace or on our sofa, covered by a warm plaid!
This chocolate cookie recipe is very easy to do. Bake it in a large baking dish in a thin layer (be careful, as the cooking time is short!).
Then here’s the fun part: trim them with a cookie cutter! You can use various forms, for instance!
