Christmas parties have started ... these were a real hit!!
seeing as so many people have been asking ... i'll share the recipe !!
Ingredients:
4 oz dark Chocolate (melted and cooled)
4 oz milk Chocolate (melted and cooled)
1 + 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 + 1/3 cups light brown sugar
2 large eggs1 tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup of milk
1 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
1 cup icing sugar (for rolling)
in a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt until well mixed
in a large bowl beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium high speed until light and fluffy.
add eggs and vanilla extract and beat well until combined
add chocolate and beat until blended
with mixer on low add flour and milk bit by bit alternating between the two until just combined
divide the dough into quarters and wrap in cling film and stick it in the fridge for at least two hours (i left mine overnight)
preheat oven to 180 degrees and line cookie sheets with baking paper
place your sugar into two separate bowls
roll your mixture into balls i got bout 12 out of each portion of mixture (leave the mixture until the very last minute, do one packet at a time as it melts quickly especially if your a hot blooded creature like me)
roll each ball through the granulated sugar and then through the icing sugar
place on your tray about 2 inches apart - they grow massively in the oven
cook for about 12 - 15 minutes
leave them to cool on a cooling racks and store in airtight containers for up to a week - but trust me - you'll struggle to keep them that long
