Method
Mix the butter and sugar together with a wooden spoon. Stir in the flour and cocoa, followed by the chocolate chips – you’ll probably need to mix it together with your hands at this stage. Halve the dough and roll each piece into a log about 5cm thick. Wrap in cling film and chill for one hour or for several days. Can be frozen for up to one month. Heat oven to 180 C/ 350 F . Slice logs into one cm- thick rounds, transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment and bake for 10-12 mins. Cool on the tray.
