Double Choc Chip Cookies

Ingredients

100g/3.5oz dark chocolate, chopped
80g/2.8oz butter, chopped
1 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 cup caster sugar
1 egg, beaten lightly

Method

Place the chocolate & butter in a small saucepan, place over a low heat and stir with a  spoon until just melted. Pour mixture into a mixing bowl.

Sift the flour, cocoa & bicarbonate of soda into the chocolate mixture, then stir the sugar & egg until combined.

Cover & refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F.

Line a baking tray with some baking paper.

Take a tablespoon of the mixture & roll into a ball, then place on baking tray. Repeat with remaining mixture, allowing 8cm between each ball for the cookies to spread.

Place the tray in the oven & bake for 15-20 minutes.

Cool the cookies on the tray before decorating.
