These dark chocolate button cookies were so much fun to make and the whole family really enjoyed them. Since it is holidays these cookies did not last long at all. I made them with Nova Choc-Oh-Late dark chocolate baking buttons, which are sugar free. While the cookies have sugar in them I was happy to reduce the amount of sugar that this recipe would have had if I had used chocolate baking buttons that had sugar in them too!

- Bake at 180Β°C for 18 minutes
- Press a baking button into the centre of each cookie while it is still hot then leave to cool before eating
These cookies were so much fun to make. There was something so satisfying about pushing the baking buttons into the hot cookies and watching them melt. One thing I noticed is that the baking buttons stayed liquid inside the cookie the entire day and only by the following day they hardened. If you want to enjoy liquid chocolate in the cookie eat them straight away but if you want the chocolate to be hard make sure to make them the day before you plan to eat them.
They looks yummy,I will definitely try it
They are yummy Sheila and loads of fun to make!
