Wet Ingredient Preparation
Using a knife, slice 280g
into even chunks, transfer to a saucepan on low or medium heat and heat until melted.

to the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
Gently crack 2 large eggs into the large bowl of dry ingredients.

and 10g

Using the large knife and chopping board, cut 570g
into small chunks, approximately half the size of a cube section.
Add 570g
to the large bowl and mix. This can be done with a wooden spoon, whisk or by hand as the mixture will be quite thick.
Mixed dough can either be baked on the day or covered and frozen as 4 doughballs in a freezer bag at -20oC.
Shape the dough into small ping-pong ball spheres.
Use a small spoon to press in a dimple on the top of each ball.
Baking
Add 8 ping-pong sized doughballs to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
If baking from fresh, bake in the oven at 180oC for 8-10 minutes
If baking from frozen, bake at 180oC for 15-20 minutes.
Let the cookies sit for approximately 5 minutes, this is to both allow them to cool and to set.
Enjoy cookies with some milk (or a milk substitute)!
