Ingredients:
  • 200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 125g unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature
  • 100g (1/2 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 190g (1 1/4 cups) plain flour
  • 40g (1/4 cup) self-raising flour
  • 200g good-quality dark chocolate, extra, roughly chopped
  • 60g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions:
  • Melt the chocolate in a heat-resistant bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and allow it to cool for 15 minutes before using.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar using electric beaters, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in the cooled chocolate. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined.
  • Sift both plain and self-raising flours into a bowl. Mix in half of the sifted flour with the chocolate mixture using a wooden spoon until combined. Stir in the remaining flour, chopped extra chocolate, and hazelnuts until fully combined.
  • Chill in the fridge with plastic wrap for 1 hour until mixture is firm.
  • Preheat your oven to 160°C and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
  • Form 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture into balls and space them 4cm apart on the baking tray. Gently flatten the dough balls with your hands. Chill the leftover dough in the fridge. Bake in a preheated oven for 18 minutes until firm and the cookies have cracked on top.
  • Take the biscuits out of the oven and let them sit on the tray for approximately 3 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
