Ingredients

75 g softened unsalted butter
75 g caster sugar
100 g dark chocolate (I use one containing 70% cocoa solid)
75 g plain white flour
50 g plain whole wheat flour (or just substitute for white)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, and line a baking sheet with non stick paper.
2

Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until fluffy.
3

Melt 75g of the chocolate. Chop the remaining chocolate into little chunks.
4

Add the melted chocolate into the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
5

In a separate bowl sift the flours, cocoa and baking powder. Beat it into the chocolate mixture. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
6

Drop teaspoon size balls onto baking sheet, press down slightly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp on the outside. They may be a little soft in the middle--this is the melted chocolate. Allow to cool on the tray.
