Giant Swiss Chocolate Chunk Shortbread
"From canadianliving..com
This makes 15 very large cookies. If you'd like smaller cookies, reduce chocolate to 6 oz (175 g) and cut into sixty 1/4 inch chunks. Roll dough by rounded 1 tbsp into balls and press chocolate chunk into each. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. This will yield 60 cookies."
