Recipe type: dessert
Serves: 12-13
Ingredients
  • 350g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 45g butter (I use salted)
  • 120g caster sugar
  • 80g cornflour (you can substitute with 75gm sorghum flour, OR do 70 grams sorghum flour and 1 tbsp cornflour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 100g dark chocolate chips (use some for mixing in and some for dotting on top)
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C and line your baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Place the 350g of 70% dark chocolate and the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Beat the sugar and eggs till light and fluffy. Add the warm dark chocolate butter mixture and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Add the dry ingredients- cornflour and baking powder.
  5. Mix until just well combined. You can add half of the chocolate chips in at this point.
  6. Using an ice cream scooper or a spoon, add the scooped out dough onto your prepared baking trays, leaving plenty of space between each cookie as they will spread. Gently press a few of the dark chocolate chips into the top of each mound of dough. Sprinkle sea salt on top, if using
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 13 minutes ( be careful not to over bake if you want a fudgy texture). Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the trays to set. (In my oven the perfect texture comes when I bake them at 165°C for 13 minutes. If I take them out of the freezer, I add 2 more minutes to the bake time.)
  8. Serve warm with Chantilly cream or ice cream or enjoy as is!
