- 226g drinking chocolate
- 113g sugar
- 454g flour
- 226g margarine
- 4tbsp golden syrup (or maple syrup if not available)
- 2 heaped tsp coffee dissolved in 2tbsp hot water
- 2tsp baking soda
Method:
Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Put drinking chocolate, sugar and flour in a bowl and mix.
Melt margarine and syrup in a small pan over a small flame.
When melted, add the coffee essence and mix.
Add baking soda, mix immediately and turn off heat.
Pour mixture over dry ingredients and mix thoroughly – the resulting dough will be very moist.
With wet hands, break off pieces of the mixture, shape into small walnut sized balls and flatten slightly.
