Double Chocolate and Hazelnut Cookies

Ingredients:

(Makes 12)
200g unsalted butter
300g caster sugar
1 large egg
275g self-raising flour
75g cocoa powder
300g dark chocolate
a splash of milk
50g chopped hazelnuts

Method:


Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk until light and creamy. Crack in an egg and mix some more, then add the dry ingredients: self-raising flour (no need to sift), cocoa powder and chocolate bars broken down into squares. Things might seem a little dry at this point so add a few drops of milk to combine the mixture into more of a dough if needed.

Line two trays with baking paper, scoop the mixture into 12 handfull size balls and place far apart on the tray. Put in a preheated fan oven at 220°C (200°C for non-fan) for 10 minutes. They will be very soft still when you remove them, but leave them to cool for around 30 minutes and they will stiffen up.
