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.

Ingredients

  • 100 g / 4oz Butter softened or margarine

  • Place the balls on the baking sheets and press down with a fork on each one.
