• Heat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 8 min. or just until set. (Do not overbake.) Cool on baking sheet 1 min.; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE DROPS

Steps:

• For the dark chilli drops: break the chocolate into chunks and melt in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Meanwhile, line a few flat baking trays with baking parchment. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the chilli powder. Use a teaspoon to drop 'drops' of the chocolate onto the baking parchment. Every 10 or 20 drops, scatter over a small amount of red glitter before the chocolate sets. Leave to set in a cool place, but do not put in the fridge.
• For the salted pistachio drops: melt the chocolate and prepare baking parchment as before. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the salt, then make drops as above, topping with chopped pistachios.
• For the white chocolate drops: carefully melt the chocolate as above. Make drops, as above. Once they are partially set, top each with a crystallised rose petal.

SUPER GOOEY CHOCOLATE DROPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
• 2. Place butter and unsweetened and semisweet chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with about 1 inch of water to a very slow simmer; set bowl over but not touching water, and stir occasionally until chocolate melts. Stir light brown and granulated sugars and vanilla into chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add eggs and buttermilk and beat vigorously until thick and glossy.
• 3. Whisk flour, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt together and stir into chocolate mixture. Stir in chocolate chunks and dried cherries, if using. Drop batter in heaping tablespoons, 2 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheets. Bake until cookies are set on outside and soft and fudge-like inside, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes; transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve or store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to a week.

SUPER GOOEY CHOCOLATE DROPS

Steps:

• Position racks in the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. (If you don't have 3 pans, simply cool the pan between batches.)
• Put the butter and the unsweetened and semisweet chocolates in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 75 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir and heat again until melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolates and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
• Stir the light brown and granulated sugars and vanilla into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat vigorously until thick and glossy.
• In another bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks and dried cherries, if using.
• Drop the batter in heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets--a small ice cream scoop is ideal for this. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies set but are soft and fudgy on the inside, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve.
• Store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to a week.
