Ingredients

Method

• 115 g butter
• 100 g white sugar
• 100 g light brown sugar
• 1 free-range egg

Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat.

Sift together the flour and bicarbonate of soda and slowly fold into the butter-and-sugar mixture.

Once combined, add the chocolate and macadamia nuts and gently work into the dough.

Flatten a spoonful of dough in your palm, spoon a little chocolate spread into the centre and fold closed, sealing the chocolate spread inside. Take care not to squeeze out any chocolate spread.

Place on a baking tray, press down lightly and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Cook's note: A double whammy of chocolate and a molten, oozy centre makes these the best cookies ever.
