The cookies were sitting on a plate. Their smell lured me towards them. They were difficult to ignore. Regrettably, I had prepared them in the morning. I put them on the table to cool down and had to fight against myself. Sometimes unsuccessfully. At last I locked the "bombs" away in a box and in this way I saved a few for my family. The reason for my morning struggle was some very dark, very chocolaty cookies with walnuts and cranberries.

Ingredients:

170g of flour

1 teaspoon of baking soda

140g butter or margarine

30g of cocoa

1 egg

80g of vanilla sugar

180g of brown sugar

50g of walnuts

50g of white chocolate

50g of milk chocolate

100g of dried cranberries

Heat the oven up to 180 degrees C. Pulp the butter with the brown sugar and vanilla sugar to make a fluffy mass. Add the flour, baking soda, cocoa and egg and mix them up. The dough should be stiff and thick. Add chopped nuts, chopped chocolate and cranberries to the mixture. Cover a baking sheet with some baking paper. Make little balls from the mixture, around the size of walnuts. Slightly flatten the balls and put them on the baking sheet. Keep the cookies separate (5 cm apart). Bake for 16 minutes. Take the cookies out when they have cooled down a bit.

Enjoy your meal!
