I think that this is the first recipe I tried as a child, one of those "every child makes a recipe and then we'll include the recipe in a cookbook" kind of events probably every child has gone through. I like this recipe, cooking the cocoa and butter and milk slowly turns it all into a silky smooth liquid. My boss likes this, I gifted him with a double batch for his surprise 40th birthday party years ago. He was stuffed at lunch today when we met, he was at one of our plants in the morning, and I had to suppress a smile when he said that, as I knew that three of them were waiting for him at the office. And, of course, he ate two of them right away. I always have room for cookies, he says. He got that right.
