Ingredients
300g cooking chocolate
65g butter
400g condensed milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
300g plain flour, sifted
40g toasted almonds, chopped
40g chocolate chips
For garnishing
75g toasted almonds (extra), coarsely chopped
Method
Line baking trays with non-stick parchment paper.
Combine chocolate, butter and condensed milk in a non-stick saucepan and stir over a gentle, low heat until the mixture turns smooth. Add essence.
Combine flour, chocolate chips and chopped toasted almonds in a clean mixing bowl. Stir in chocolate mixture.
Take a tablespoonful of mixture out and shape into a ball. Dip the top of each cookie into extra chopped almonds and place the cookies on prepared baking trays.
Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for 9–10 minutes or until cookies are just set.
After baking, the fudge cookies will appear soft in texture but they will become firm when cooled.
