Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Line two trays with greaseproof paper and rub with olive oil.

2. 2

   Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, then remove and stir in the butter so it melts.

3. 3

   Tear the bread into a food processor and blitz into fine crumbs, then add the eggs and sugar, and blitz again well.

4. 4

   With the processor still running, pour in the chocolate mixture and let it blitz until combined.

5. 5

   Spoon the cookie mix into a large sandwich bag, snip off the corner and pipe 3–4cm blobs to make 24 cookies on the lined trays.

6. 6

   Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until spread and set. Sprinkle with sea salt, leave to cool a little, and tuck in.
