Behind the Recipe
Short on time? These need no chilling and no creaming, and they bake in 12 minutes.
The cocoa and the chips give the two chocolates. Use good cocoa, because it makes most of the flavour, and keep the chips whole so they stay as pockets of melted chocolate. Pull them out when the middles still look underdone. They firm up on the tray and stay chewy.
Cream the butter with the brown sugar for 2 minutes, mix in the egg and vanilla, and fold in the flour, cocoa and bicarbonate until just combined. The dough is soft and sticky.
Drop tablespoons onto lined trays, 5 cm apart, and bake at 180°C for 12 minutes. If your oven runs hot, check at 9 minutes. Leave them on the tray for 5 minutes, since they are fragile warm. Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops as they come out of the oven for a bakery finish.
