Scary Halloween cookies with liquorice

I have found this recipe on scary Halloween cookies with liquorice in the monthly magazine of Samvirke (issue Oktober 2016). And when I saw this recipe I knew at once, that I should bake these cookies for the afternoon after the cultural expedition together with my good friends from Horsens. These cookies combined the word "scary" and liquorice, where my use of liquorice can scare my good friends from Horsens !!!

When tasting these cookies my good friends from Horsens were not scared at all ! The taste of liquorice was almost "invisible", so next time I will add in some more liquorice. You could taste the liquorice, when you were bitting into a pice of the liquorice (Heksehyl).

I have made one modification to the recipe, as I have replace the dark chocolate with milk chocolate, as I personally prefers milk chocolate much more than dark chocolate.
