1 1/4 cups plain flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup (125g) dark chocolate, chopped

2. Sift together flour, baking soda and cocoa and stir into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate, cranberries and nuts.
3. Drop heaped tablespoons of the mixture onto prepared trays, leaving space for cookies to expand during cooking. Press to flatten slightly.
