Chocolate cookies

Nuts, honey and chocolate We are so used to various confectionery products with the addition of chocolate that it never occurs to us that the possibility of their production appeared relatively recently - at the end of the nineteenth century, when cocoa was learned to divide into cocoa powder and cocoa butter. As a result, it became possible to mix chocolate with other ingredients, and it cost less. Before that, they also cooked chocolate biscuits and other pastries, but since both sugar and chocolate were very expensive at that time, only the elite could afford such desserts. And before the sixteenth century, chocolate was consumed only in liquid form. Now you can buy a wide variety of chocolate confectionery in the store, but you will not find such a chocolate cookie that we offer you to cook today. This is something between nuts dessert and glazed dried fruits. Not only is it incredibly tasty, it's also very nutritious and useful. Such chocolate biscuits can become both an excellent breakfast, and an original dessert, and even replace a full dinner during the working day. If you like to experiment, add a little prunes, or replace hazelnuts with walnuts - the taste will turn out different, but this is no less attractive.
