Using dark chocolate as the basis for this recipe makes them super indulgent. Waiting for the baked cookies to cool down before eating is an essential step so you can fully enjoy the contrast of the crunchy outside and the pleasure of it melting in your mouth. If you make one recipe from our plant-powered recipes PDF, this is our co-founder Natalia’s personal favourite.
