Recipe No.10 - Chocolate Crackles

Last week an empty tin was left on my mum's desk at work...as a hint! My mum's colleagues know I bake and from time to time I supply them with cupcakes, this time I thought I'd do something a bit different and make cookies.

Before cooking the dough is rolled into a ball - similar looking to a truffle - and rolled in icing sugar. As they cook the ball flattens and then as they change shape the icing sugar cracks. These cookies look nice and all crack in a different way so they look quite interesting. This is a really simple recipe although I did have to batch bake in order to cook them all which is a bit time consuming. I also got to use my new cake stand which was a bonus!

Some in a tin for Mum...The others can stay at home with me!
