Kel Baird's Double Chocolate Cookies

This series of recipes are gifts from my friends at Burnside - SJPC as I prepare for the wedding. The first in this series is a much coveted recipe of Kel B's.

110g unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plain flour, sifted
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
125g dark chocolate, melted
280g dark chocolate, extra, roughly chopped

Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 8-10 minutes or until light and creamy.

Add the egg and vanilla and beat for a further 3-4 minutes. Stir through flour, cocoa, bicarb soda and melted chocolate.

Add the extra chopped chocolate and stir to combine. Roll tablespoons of the mixture into rounds.

Place on baking trays lined with non stick baking paper, allowing room to spread.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until slight cracks have formed.
