Ingredients

  • 50 g dark chocolate
  • 140 g unsalted butter room temperature
  • 140 g dark brown sugar
  • 110 g caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 250 g plain flour
  • 15 g cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 180 g chopped dark chocolate feel free to mix it up here!
  • more chocolate for topping optional
  • flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Melt the 50g of dark chocolate and set aside to cool. I do this with short bursts in the microwave and lots of mixing.
  • Hopefully you've already taken your butter out of the fridge and it's nice and soft. Begin by beating together your butter and both sugars until just combined.
  • Add your egg and mix throughly.
  • Add your dry ingredients – flour, bicarb and baking powder.
  • Now divide your mixture into two. Roughly is fine.
  • One half is going to be your plain chocolate chip cookie side, so mix through your 90g of the chopped chocolate.
  • In the second half, add your milk, cocoa powder and cooled, melted chocolate. Mix thoroughly. And the stir through the remaining 90g of chopped chocolate.
  • Now you have your two doughs, we're going to divide the mixtures up. Take 30g of the plain cookie dough and 30g of the chocolate cookie dough and roll them into a ball. No need to do anything fancy, just roll them between the palms of your hands. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. You should get about 14 balls of cookie dough.
  • Put your balls of cookie dough in the fridge and rest overnight. I know it's long, but it'll make them extra special.
  • The following day, preheat the oven to 160°C fan.
  • If your baking sheet is not non-stick, then line with greaseproof paper. Space the dough balls on the baking tray. Give them enough space to spread. I put 4 balls per sheet. No need to squash them. You might need to bake in two batches. Or freeze some raw dough balls for another day.
  • At this stage, you could stick another square of chocolate on the top of each dough ball,
  • Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
