Dark Chocolate Cookies

Of the many different stories that will tell you about the origin of cookies, there is one that has the flavour of a family anecdote. The story goes that in Holland, to check whether the oven had finally reached the perfect temperature, a small piece of dough was dropped inside. The result, as random as it was delicious, was what we would over time call a "biscuit". Flour, butter, and sugar: three ingredients are enough to make us smile. But the magic happens when we also add cocoa. Dark chocolate cookies are part of a mouth-watering breakfast or a snack that is loved by all ages. They are also a way to treat yourself in the evening, to end the day with just the right amount of sweetness.
