Cooking Steps
ā¢ Preheat oven to 180Ā°C/160Ā°C fan-forced. ā¢ Measure 200g of butter and set aside at room temperature to soften. ā¢ Weigh 30g of cocoa powder. Weigh 300g of basic sponge mix. Finely chop slivered almonds.
TIP: Weigh out your ingredients before you start as we've sent you a little extra cocoa powder and basic sponge mix!
ā¢ In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar and vanilla-flavoured syrup with electric beaters, until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. ā¢ Add the egg and beat until well combined, 1 minute.
ā¢ To the bowl, add the measured cocoa powder and basic sponge mix. On low speed, beat until dough comes together, 1-2 minutes. ā¢ Stir in slivered almonds until just combined
TIP: Beat until the dough just comes together, overbeating can cause the cookies to become tough.
ā¢ Roll tablespoonfuls of cookie dough into balls. You should get 15-20 cookies. Place dough balls on two lined oven trays, allowing room for spreading. ā¢ Bake for 14-16 minutes or until just firm to touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
ā¢ When the cookies have cooled, heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast shredded coconut, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Set aside. ā¢ Place white chocolate chips and the vegetable oil in a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
ā¢ Transfer cookies to a serving plate or board. ā¢ Drizzle with white chocolate, then sprinkle with toasted coconut to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour:Ā Many loved the taste, especially the almond and white chocolate combo. Some found them too sweet; others noted a strong baking soda flavour.
- Ease of prep:Ā Generally simple to make, though measuring exact amounts was tricky for some. The white chocolate drizzle can be fiddly and time-consuming.
- Suggestions:Ā Try mixing coconut and white chocolate chips into the dough. Reduce sugar if you prefer less sweetness. Be careful not to overbake.
- Portions:Ā The recipe yields plenty, with some reporting 18-20 large cookies or even more. Consider making the dough balls bigger for 24 biscuits.
- Texture:Ā Some found the cookies dry or crumbly. Watch baking time closely and measure ingredients carefully for best results.
