Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made these for a Christmas cookie swap and everyone loved them

    I also found these good but on the large size- I prefer them smaller too. As advised I used darker chocolate & melted less. I like the salt with the nuts. They remind me of the Big Island Candies brand chocolate dipped shortbread.

    I also made a 1/2 recipe & with 1 oz balls, I got 17 cookies. Brown sugar shortbread is a favourite of mine and these are pretty good but I might try again making the cookies a little smaller - my personal preference is something a little crisper. The milk chocolate is good here (I had extra) and the pecans are lovely...I sprinkled them with fleur de sel before chopping (& I basically had just enough). I can see making these again but I will play around with a smaller cookie size.

    I weighed 1 oz portions of dough and got 15 cookies from 1/2 recipe. My milk chocolate was rather light - it still tasted good, but darker milk or semi-sweet would have been even better. There was extra chocolate and nuts. The cookies were delicious.
