Chocolate Orange Cookies
Perfectly fudgy Levain style chocolate orange cookies are stuffed with chunks of chocolate and ready in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 115 g butter (unsalted)
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 120 g light muscovado sugar (or soft light brown sugar)
- 70 g caster sugar (or superfine sugar)
- 1 eggs (medium)
- 200 g plain flour (or all purpose flour)
- 45 g cocoa powder
- 200 g terry's chocolate orange (chopped)
- 12 pieces terry's chocolate orange (for decoration, optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180 °C/175 °C and line two baking sheets with baking parchment or silicone baking mats.
-
In a large mixing bowl, add the butter, muscovado sugar and caster sugar. Using a handheld mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
-
Add the egg to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
-
Combine the flour and cocoa powder, and sieve into the mixture. Gently fold everything together until you have a thick cookie dough mixture.
-
Add the chopped chocolate orange to the cookie dough and fold through with a spatula so it is evenly distributed.
-
Divide the cookie dough into balls. Use a kitchen scale to make sure the dough balls are approximately the same weight; between 60-80 grams each. Alternatively use an ice-cream scoop to divide up the cookie dough.
-
Place the dough balls onto the lined baking sheets, leaving about 2-inches between the balls to allow them to spread when baking.
-
Bake the cookies at 180 °C/175 °C for between 12-14 minutes. The cookies should still be slightly soft in the centre.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before enjoying them!
