Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate 50% coco solids, broken up
  • 50 g butter softened and cubed
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 g demerara sugar
  • 25 g plain flour
  • 10 g cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • Chocolate Filling
  • 40 g white chocolate roughly chopped
  • 40 g milk chocolate roughly chopped
  • Fig Walnut and chocolate Filling
  • 3 dried figs roughly chopped
  • 40 g dark chocolate roughly chopped
  • 30 g walnuts roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
  • Place a heatproof bowl over a steaming pan that has a little bit of water in it. The bowl should not touch the water. As you see the chocolate starting to melt, stir the chocolate so it that it melts evenly. Once the chocolate has melted add the butter and stir until all the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl put the eggs and sugar (for ease you can use a free hand mixer) and whisk until you reach the ribbon stage.
  • Whisk in the chocolate mixture and then sift in the flour, coco powder, baking powder and salt.
  • Split the mixture in half and mix through the chocolate filling in one half and the fig and walnut filling in the other half.
  • Take a good heaped tablespoon measure of the mixture and place it on you baking tray, continue until all the mixture is used up leaving a good gap between each mound of cookie mixture. Do the second mixture the same way.
  • Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly and then place the cookies on the cooling rack.
