Decorating Tips
For an eye-catching presentation, reserve a few pieces of milk chocolate to press on top of the cookies just before baking. This will create a gooey, melted chocolate effect that looks as delicious as it tastes. You can also sprinkle a touch of flaked sea salt on the cookies before baking to enhance the richness of the chocolate. If you want to get a little more creative, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or dust with cocoa powder for a neat finish. Serve the cookies on a platter with a few extra pieces of chocolate or with a glass of cold milk for a classic pairing.

Ingredients:

• 230 g all-purpose flour
• 170 g milk chocolate cut into large pieces
• 130g dark chocolate
• 110 g unsalted butter
• 80 g of brown sugar
• 30 g white sugar
• 12 g almond flour
• 4 g unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 g of baking soda
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate and butter:
   In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together, either in the microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
2. Mix the wet ingredients:
   Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and stir well to combine. Add the egg and mix until completely incorporated.
3. Prepare the dry ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder and almond flour. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined.
4. Add chocolate pieces:
   Stir in the milk chocolate pieces and reserve a few pieces to decorate the top of the cookies later.
5. Cool the dough:
   Form the dough into a large ball and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Preheat and shape:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dough into 7-8 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
7. Add chocolate topping (Optional):
   Using your fingers, make a small indentation in each ball of dough and fill it with a little chocolate spread. Close the dough around the filling and place a few more pieces of chocolate on each cookie.
8. Cook:
   Bake the biscuits for 12 minutes at 180°C. The edges should be firm but the centre slightly soft.
9. Let cool and serve:
   Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
