3. Put tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the baking sheets, spaced well apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Leave on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Eat immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Really enjoyed the cookies, but we put around 160g of chocolate in as we didn't think 100g looked quite enough!! This meant about 3 big chunks in each cookie and was a good ratio of chocolate to biscuit... Definitely try straight from the oven when nice and gooey! Still good now after 2 days - but not many left.

muscovado sugar is easily found in most supermarkets and simply a different blend of brown sugar ;)
