225g plain flour, sifted

1 tsp baking soda, sifted

100g butter, softened

50g caster sugar

75g Gewürzhaus Vanilla Sugar

100g light muscovado sugar

1 egg

250g dark chocolate (we use 45% cocoa solids), chopped coarsely

4 tsp Gewürzhaus Chocolate Spice

Preheat your oven to 180°C. In a bowl, cream the softened butter (just take it out of the fridge in the morning before you bake) and the sugars together.

Add the egg & spice, and beat until it has the consistency of a heavy mousse, then gently fold in flour and baking soda. When a smooth and thick dough forms, add the chocolate chunks. Pick off pieces of dough and roll into walnut-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes – make sure you don’t overcook them.
