Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 Caramilk chocolate bars, broken into squares
1 tbsp cocoa powder

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 350F. Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. STIR flour with salt in a medium bowl. BEAT butter with sugar in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, until smooth, 1 min. Gradually stir in half of flour mixture, until just combined. Add remaining flour mixture, kneading with your hands, until dough forms a ball. SCOOP dough and roll into 1-in. balls. Flatten into a round in the palm of your hand and place a square of Caramilk chocolate in centre of dough. Fold up sides and re-roll into a ball. Arrange on prepared sheets, 1 in. apart. Cookies will spread as they bake. BAKE in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching sheets halfway through, until edges have set, 15 to 17 min. Leave on sheet for 5 min, then transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely. Dust cooled cookies with cocoa powder.
