Method

1. Stir the cocoa powder into the sugar until evenly mixed, then cream in the soya marge.
2. Add the vanilla essence and the chocolate pieces; mix well
   
3. Mix in the flour until you achieve a soft dough (keep working at this, it can seem to take a while but it will 'stick' eventually)
   
4. Divide into even balls (makes 16 regular or 8 giant cookies)
   
5. Place on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper. Cook for 8 minutes.
   
6. Allow to cool on a wire rack before removing from the paper.

Tips and Comments

• Makes a good Cherry and Chocolate Not-Cheesecake base!
• See Not-Dairy for info on soya marge.
• This also works well if you substitute the chocolate chips for dried fruit and nuts.
