Pour all the paste into a sq tin and press it tightly and then chill in the fridge till it hardens before slicing. It will definitely harden. If you find it too soft, add in a little more flour to it. Do not omit eggs..it will not be light.<BR/><BR/>rgdsAunty Yochanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265525349059979821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-52330724239604432682008-07-24T17:00:00.000+08:002008-07-24T17:00:00.000+08:00i tried this recipe but it completely melted when ...i tried this recipe but it completely melted when i put it in the oven so i added more flour. but the cookies didn't turn out to be hard and crisp. it was a bit soft crumbly.i omitted the egg coz it was already too moist. where could i ahve gone wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-62142851774746166962008-02-26T22:25:00.000+08:002008-02-26T22:25:00.000+08:00Hi Titiana,ya now that chocolate rings a bell.

But not sure if the regular Cold Storage store will have it, or maybe the one in Jelita? Or maybe even Liberty? Not sure....<BR/><BR/>The reason I asked is because I had used Ghirardelli baking chocolate to make the Pierre Hermes chocolate cake and it had turned out pretty well, so was just wondering if you had any experience with its cocoa powder. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, if I try this recipe again with Ghirardelli cocoa powder, I'll let you know, can? My daughters love this cookie, but it's very heaty....so must strike balance....hahaha<BR/><BR/>TatianaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-58237520822820387602008-02-25T12:43:00.000+08:002008-02-25T12:43:00.000+08:00Hi tatiana,I've not tried Ghirardelli brand before...Hi tatiana,<BR/><BR/>I've not tried Ghirardelli brand before.
