INSTRUCTIONS
This little book *mysteriously* appeared, when I was reshelving some cookbooks, around the end of last year...and, I'm glad it did, as these cookies are scrumptious, and easy!

Enjoy!

From the recipe preface...:

"Dusted with sugar, this rich biscuits (cookies) look attractive on a plate. Serve them with coffee, or as an accompaniment to ice cream."

Makes 24 ( I made a double batch)

75 g (3 oz) plain (semi-sweet) chocolate, broken into pieces

75 g (3 oz) white chocolate, broken into pieces

115 g (4 oz/1/2 cup) butter

115 g (4 oz/8 TBS) caster (superfine) sugar

2 eggs

225 g (8 oz/2 cups) plain flour

icing (confectioners') sugar, to decorate

1. Put each type of chocolate into separate small bowls and melt over a pan of barely simmering water. Set aside to cool.

2. Whisk the butter and caster (superfine) sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Sift in the flour and mix well.

3. Divide the mixture between the two bowls of chocolate. Mix each chocolate in thoroughly. Knead the doughs until smooth, wrap them in clear film (plastic wrap) and chill for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.

4. Take up slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of each dough and roll into balls in the palms of your hands. Arrange them on greased baking trays and bake for 10-12 minutes. Dust with sifted icing (confectioners') sugar and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

She forgot step 5....EAT, with great glee!
