Homemade cookies:

• 125g butter (at room temperature)
• 6 tbsps  sugar

• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup Belgian chocolate chips / chunks (we use callebaut or Sainsbury Belgian chocolate)

• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cup self raising flour (you may need more or less)

Method

1. Recite Bismillah.

3. Beat butter, vanilla, sugar & brown sugar till creamy.
4. Beat in egg.
5. Add chocolate chips, preferred choice of nuts, salt & enough flour to make a soft dough. Never add all the flour all at once. You may need less or you may even need more than stated.
6. Place desired size ‘blobs'( not smoothed rolled balls) on a greased baking tray & bake at 180c for 10 minutes or till they come off the tray easily without sticking but are still soft.
7. Allow to Cool completely before using in dessert. 
8. Whip double cream with icing sugar till it just starts to form soft peaks.
9. Dissolve coffee with water & dip the cookies for 2-5 seconds (according to preference of crunchiness). 
10. In a dish of your choice place a layer of dipped biscuits in coffee.
11. Cover biscuits with half of the cream.
12. Place another layer of dipped biscuits & then spread the remaining cream on top.
13. Dust with cocoa or grated chocolate or whatever you like! Chill for a few hours before serving. Enjoy!
