• Place 2 tablespoons white sugar in a small bowl. Press one side of each ball into sugar. Place balls, sugar sides up, onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookie is set and slightly cracked, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Melt almond bark in a saucepan over low heat. Drizzle over cookies.

CHOCOLATE CREAM FILLED COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
• Using an electric mixer, beat 6 tablespoons butter and 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl until creamy. Add the egg; beat until smooth. Beat in corn syrup. Whisk together the flour and cocoa in a small bowl. Beat half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well incorporated. Beat in the remaining flour. Divide dough in half.
• On a lightly floured board, roll each half of the dough into a rectangle. Cut each large rectangle into 1x3 inch rectangles. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until firm, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cookies stand on baking sheets for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
• While the cookies are baking, make the filling. Heat chocolate chips in a small saucepan on lowest heat. Stir until chocolate is almost completely melted. Remove from heat; stir until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature. Beat 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1/2 cup butter in a large bowl until smooth. Scrape the melted chocolate into the bowl; beat well.

CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C.Gather together and weigh all the ingredients.
• Chop 200g/7oz of the plain chocolate into rough, irregular chunks. Chop the milk chocolate in the same way, but keep separate.
• Break the remaining plain chocolate into a large heatproof mixing bowl. Melt in the microwave on medium for about 11⁄2 minutes (or over a pan of simmering water).
• Stir the chocolate until melted, then tip in the sugar, butter, peanut butter, egg and vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Stir in the flour, all the milk chocolate chunks, the nuts (no need to chop) and half the plain chocolate chunks. The mixture will feel quite soft, and drop easily from the spoon if you shake it.
• Drop big spoonfuls in 12 piles on to 2 or 3 baking sheets, leaving room for them to spread (you may need to bake in batches). Stick the remaining chunks into the cookies (2-3 pieces in each).
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until they are tinged very slightly darker around the edges. The smell will let you know they are ready. They will be soft in the middle, but will crisp up as they cool. (Cook for longer and you'll have crisper cookies.) Let them cool and firm up for a few minutes on the baking sheet (they'll break if you move them while still hot), then lift off with a wide spatula on to a cooling rack. They will keep crisp in an airtight tin for 3-4 days.

CREAM-FILLED CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. , Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set. Remove to wire racks to cool. , In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients ; beat until smooth. Spread on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Store in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE-STUFFED OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Prepare the cookie dough: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter and both sugars and process until combined. Add the egg and vanilla and pulse to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
• Add the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and process until combined and the oats have broken down a bit, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
• Transfer the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap and use the sides of the plastic to shape it into a flat, 8-inch square that is about 1/2-inch thick. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Prepare the filling: Heat the cream in a small saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave until hot. (Be careful: Cream loves to boil over.) Add the chocolate, vanilla and salt to the hot cream and let stand 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and uniform. (If not fully smooth, carefully heat a bit longer on the stovetop, stirring until smooth, or heat in the microwave in 5-second spurts, stirring after each blast, until smooth.) Transfer the filling to a large piece of plastic wrap and use the sides of the plastic to shape it into a 4- to 6-inch square. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cut the cookie dough into 24 equal pieces. Cut the chocolate filling into 12 equal pieces. (It's OK if the chocolate breaks a bit; just make sure you have 12 equal piles.) Flatten one piece of cookie dough slightly. Set a piece of chocolate filling into the center. Flatten another piece of cookie dough and set it on top of the chocolate filling. Use your hands to shape the cookie dough around the filling and then roll it into a neat ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough and filling.
• Set 6 dough balls onto one of the prepared sheets. Bake until set and relatively flat, with just-golden edges, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining cookies on the other baking sheet. Serve cookies warm or at room temperature.
