Chocolate Melting Moments are the best chocolate cookies I’ve ever tasted! They are intensely chocolatey and melt in the mouth!
Today I have updated my Chocolate Melting Moments recipe with some better photographs as it really did deserve better than my amateur attempt from years ago!
When I left college it wasn’t any of the teachers I was going to miss but my regular fix of Chocolate Melting Moments that weighed heavy on my heart.
So on the last day of college, my friend and I went cap in hand to the cafeteria and explained our predicament to the catering ladies. They were so flattered that the recipe was retrieved and would you believe it has sat in my recipe box all these years untouched until now!
The original recipe was for a catering sized amount and had no cooking time, plus the recipe just called for sugar and flour. Hence I have changed these to self-raising and caster and after some experimenting came up with an optimum cooking time.
All my guinea pigs (human not fluffy) have been delighted with the results and preferred them to a recipe that I had tried out a few weeks ago from the internet.

Chocolate Melting Moments
Ingredients
- 100 g / 4oz Butter softened or margarine
- 100 g / 4oz Caster sugar
- 100 g / 4oz Self raising flour
- 25 g / 1 oz Cocoa powder preferably Bournville
- 20 Chocolate chips/pieces optional

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 175°C.
- Grease 2 baking sheets.
- Cream the butter/margarine and sugar together with an electric whisk until pale.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix in the sifted flour and cocoa until they form a paste.
- Shape into small walnut sized balls (should make 15 - 20). I use a couple of teaspoons but you can just use your hands if you wish.
- Roll the balls in the plate of oats to coat.
- Place the balls on the baking sheets and press down with a fork on each one.
- Decorate with a chocolate chip if wished.
- Put in the oven and bake for 14 - 15 minutes.
- When ready leave for a minute and then transfer the biscuits with a palette knife to a wire rack.

Lovely recipe idea! I always have loads of oats in the cupboard, as the kids love porridge on colder morning and they love to make Flap Jack too. These would be a lovely change so might give them a go at the weekend when the kids are off!

These are just baking in my oven as we speak, smelling delightful! Can’t wait to try them still warm from the oven! I left out the oats purely because I have no patience and read the recipe and thought “yum, I have all those ingredients I am going to make them right now!” But didn’t have oats so cracked on without them!
Camilla
Brilliant and the oats aren’t imperative, hope you enjoy them:-)

These look wonderful and what a great way to ring the changes with a chocolate version too…..JUST fab and VERY retro! Thanks for adding your link, with your permission, I will change the link on my site so it comes here, so others can drool over these! Karen
