The run-up to Christmas is full of anticipation and includes feasting on buttery-soft biscuits. We love them all – from Mailänderli to jammy dodgers and Brunsli. The latter are like a little cake yet similar in consistency to the popular chocolate chip cookies. We're already looking forward to cold winter days on the sofa with a book, a cup of tea and a handful of biscuits.

Dough
300 g dark chocolate, finely chopped

How it's done

Dough

Place the chocolate and butter in a thin-sided bowl, suspend the bowl over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water.

Combine the flour and cinnamon, mix in.
