LEFT OVER CHOCOLATES

Ingredients

200 gm chocolate( I used left over chocolates you can use cooking dark chocolates for better results )
150 gm plain flour
30 gm cocoa powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
125gm butter
120 gm brown sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
2 tbsp chopped almonds

 Method 

Place the flour, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large bowl and mix well.

Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave 

In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate and stir well.Beat in the vanilla extract and crack in the egg, then mix in the dry ingredients. Finally stir in the chopped almonds.Scoop out 12 equal portions of the mixture onto a lined baking sheet.Transfer to the oven and bake for 18 minutes, then test with a skewer - it should come out semi-clean and not wet with batter. Leave the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to harden as they cool.

Till me meet next HAPPY BAKING !!!
