Chocolate cookies are always a treat. This recipe is simple and reliable, but the main thing is to spend money and not use cocoa powder, but real bitter chocolate, preferably 70%. Then the cookies will have a bright and rich taste of real chocolate. And the finishing touch is powdered sugar, without it the cracked brown balls will not look so aesthetically pleasing.
