Insanely easy recipe for chocolate salami. No, no actual salami here. These are buttery soft, no-bake chocolate cookies, that just looks like salami.
Ever heard of chocolate salami cookies? If not, don’t be turned off by its name.
You’re in for a treat! These are buttery soft chocolate cookies, the no-bake and make-ahead kind. My absolute favorite cookies from my childhood.
If you were hoping for healthy cookies, you’re in a wrong place. Because we’re here for rich and chocolate-y dessert. Real treat, indeed, but it’s sure worth every buttery calorie, I promise.
It’s insanely easy recipe, and the hardest part is waiting for it to set.
And since pictures worth thousand words, here’re step by step photos to guide you.
Enjoy these indulgent cookies with a cup of tea, or coffee, and, of course, a great company.
Thanks for stopping by.

This was complete fail. Had to throw it away. It was dry and crumbly. When you say 20 full sheets of Graham’s, do you mean 4 cookies per sheet or just 20 rectangular cookies?
Shinee says
Oh, I’m so sorry, VN, that the recipe didn’t work for you. By full sheet of graham cracker, I mean a rectangular sheet with 2 squares. And I wish you hadn’t threw it away. I think adding more melted butter would have fixed the issue. Again, so sorry.
