They don't look promising when they go in the oven, but they come out full and puffy. After cooling, they relax into a thin, silky, buttery and delicate cookie. The taste is amazing, like fudgy soft shortbread. I used the ingredients specified; the sugar and flour had to be ordered from the Internet. The North American measurements are: generous 1/4 c caster sugar, 1 stick butter, and shy 1 c self-rising flour (plus the 2 tbsp cocoa powder).

This recipe is quick, simple and turns out fantastic. A must if you want to bake with children and cooked in 8 minutes flat. Highly recommended.
