I baked to put a smile one somebody's face. I think it worked.
Chocolate Chunk Pecan Cookies (makes 12 large cookies)
200g good quality dark chocolate (like Green & Blacks 70%), broken into squares
100g butter , chopped
50g light muscovado sugar
85g golden caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
100g whole pecans
100g plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Preheat oven to 180C/Gas 4.
Melt 85g chocolate over a pan of simmering water in a mixing bowl or in the microwave.
Add the butter, sugars, vanilla and egg until and beat until smooth
Stir in three-quarters of both the nuts and remaining chocolate, then the flour and bicarbonate of soda.
Heap 12 spoonfuls, spaced wide apart, on 2 baking sheets (don't spread the mixture), then poke in the reserved nuts and chocolate.
Bake for 12 mins, then leave to cool on the sheets. They will be soft when they come out of the oven and you might think they need longer, but they'll crisp up whilst cooling.
Enjoy!
