Ingredients
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, COLD (straight from the fridge), roughly chopped
- 190 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg, cold
- 210 grams plain flour or all-purpose flour
- 40 grams cocoa powder, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Zest of one large orange, freshly zested
- 150 grams Terry's Chocolate Orange pieces, roughly chopped
- 75 grams dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line two baking trays or cookie sheets with baking or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cold butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined and creamy. Add egg. Beat again until combined - but try not to overmix.
- Add flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and orange zest and beat on low speed until soft cookie dough forms.
- Add the Terry's chocolate orange and dark chocolate chunks and beat briefly on low speed just until mix-ins are incorporated into the dough.
- Scoop out cookie dough, roughly 2 tablespoons per cookie, and roll into balls using your hands. Place cookie dough balls on prepared trays, leaving room for the cookies to spread as they bake.
- Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes. Leave cookies to cool for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. They will appear very soft when fresh from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
Notes
For an extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
