• I prefer dark chocolate, but you can use milk chocolate as well

• I usually make this recipe with dairy-free butter and dark chocolate, so most of the time it is a dairy-free recipe.

• If you want this recipe to be gluten-free as well all you have to do is replace the plain flour with a gluten-free one and make sure the oats are gluten-free as well (sometimes they might not be suitable for coeliacs due to how they're packed)

• If using a fan-assisted oven, cooking times may vary slightly, so please check how the cookies are looking after 12 minutes and adjust the time accordingly.

• They last for 5-6 days at room temperature, in an airtight container.

• You can add a handful of chopped almonds or walnuts, for an extra bit of flavour and texture.
