Ingredients
Note: The recipe card below shows the full quantities.
Dark chocolate - also known as plain or semi-sweet chocolate. Use dark chocolate melts, especially for cooking or a broken chocolate bar.
Unsalted butter - softened at room temperature. Unsalted butter gives you complete control of the overall flavour of your recipe, as the salt content in different butter brands can vary a lot.
Brown sugar - adds a lovely rich caramel flavour and creates a chewy cookie.
Caster sugar - is also known as superfine sugar.
Egg - use a medium to large egg at room temperature.
Plain flour - also known as all-purpose flour.
Cocoa powder - use good-quality cocoa powder. Either Dutch-processed for a deep, smooth flavour or unsweetened cocoa powder if that's what you have available.
Baking powder - also known as baking soda.
Bicarbonate of soda - is a leavening agent used in baked goods.
White chocolate chips - use the baking chips found in the cake aisle at the supermarket.
