Recipe type: baking
Serves: 24
What you'll need
  • 125g butter, room temperature
  • 170g caster sugar, I use raw caster
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract/essence
  • 185g plain flour
  • 30g cocoa powder
  • 1tsp baking powder/bicarb
  • 100g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 1-2 handfuls frozen raspberries or berries, roughly chopped
Instructions
  1. Cream butter and sugar together with the vanilla. I do this in my thermomix for at least 20 seconds speed 4 or 5. Scrape down bowl.
  2. Add in egg and mix well. Just 10 seconds in the thermomix on speed 4 and another scrape down of your bowl. If you're doing this in a kitchen aid or mixer then do longer times until it's combined
  3. Sift in flour. cocoa and baking powder/bicarb and gently combine.
  4. Now I like to tip out my mixture into a large bow. Tip in the chopped chocolate (not too big pieces otherwise they'll take over your cookies) and raspberries and gently fold through with a spatula so that it's evenly distributed.
  5. Now the fun and getting your hands dirty party - make cookies from a tablespoonful of mixture and place on lined baking trays.
  6. Leave some room as these babies spread.
  7. Flatten a little and bake for about 12-15 minutes in a 180 degrees (a bit less for fan forced, remember my oven is from the 70's).
  8. Leave to cool on tray for a couple of minutes then lift off the baking sheet by the paper and leave to cool on cooling racks.
  9. You'll get 2 trays of cookies from this recipe and they lasted till just after dinner.
