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 got 2-3 more cookies than the recipe predicted by measuring out 60g per cookie. These came out perfectly!!!! I love that she also describes in the book why she uses shortening in these (I used lard in this case and they turned out well; next time I want to try coconut oil). Perfectly crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle. I've been looking for a go-to recipe for years and I think this is it!

    I used a smaller scoop and got 15 cookies from 1/2 recipe. Baking time was 14 min. I didn't have enough bittersweet chocolate and used half semisweet (and to me, the smaller amount of chocolate was good); the cookies were quite sweet so next time I'll only use bittersweet and be generous with the salt on top. They spread a lot and touched with only 7 on a sheet. Texture was soft and chewy. One batch baked after chilling 2 hours, the second after 24 hours; they seemed identical.
