Chewy, chocolatey, rich and zesty... if you have a few spoons left in your jar, bake up a batch!

 

Equipment Needed

Saucepan, spatula, 2 x baking trays, greaseproof paper, medium bowl, whisk, scales, sieve, knife

Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 250g plain flour
  • 1/2tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 170g unsalted butter
  • 200g dark brown sugar
  • 100g golden caster sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 300g chocolate chips

For the filling:

  • 300g dark or milk chocolate, broken into chunks
  • 300g double cream
  • 150g chocolate orange peanut butter

Method

1. To make the filling, bring the cream just to the boil in a saucepan, remove from the heat and add the chocolate and peanut butter. Leave for 5 minutes to cool before stirring to a smooth ganache. Set aside.

2. Line two large baking trays with greaseproof paper.

3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and caster sugar. Beat in the whole egg and egg yolk until creamy.

4. Sift in the flour, bicarb, salt and mix, then add the chocolate chips and combine. Roll into 24 even balls and chill in the fridge for an hour.

5. Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan) then bake for 10-11 minutes, until light golden, still soft. Cool on the trays then transfer to a wire rack.

6. Once the cookies are completely cool and the ganache is at a spreadable consistency, spread over half the cookies and sandwich with another.
