Ingredients
125g butter, chopped
200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
3/4 cup plain flour
3/4 cup self-raising flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Method
Place butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Stir for 3 minutes or until melted (see shortcut). Remove from heat and transfer immediately to a bowl.
Add sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Sift flours and cocoa over mixture. Add walnuts. Stir to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.
Preheat oven to 180?C. Roll heaped tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls and place 3cm apart on lined baking trays. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, swapping trays after 8 minutes, or until biscuits are cracked on top. (Cookies will firm on cooling and stay fudgy inside.)
Cool on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve.
Notes & tips
Shortcut: Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Heat, uncovered, on HIGH (100%) for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, or until melted and smooth.
