Ingredients
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 3/4 teaspoon bicarb of soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of cloves
- 80 grams dark cooking chocolate, broken into squares and each square halved
How to Make
-
Step 1: Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, beat in molasses then gradually add egg, beating well until combined.
-
Step 2: Sift in the flour, soda and spices and stir into butter mix until combined into a very soft dough; (Don't worry if the dough is really soft, it should still roll into balls easily).
-
Step 3: Roll 1/2 tablespoons of mixture into balls then take a piece of chocolate and sandwich a ball of dough on each side. Firmly press together ensuring the sides are sealed well and roll into a ball.
-
Step 4: Place balls on a baking paper lined tray about 5cm apart; using a skewer, imprint Christmas patterns into the uncooked dough. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 180°C or until lightly browned and cooked through (they will be soft and have a cake type texture).
-
Step 5: Allow to cool before removing from the baking tray and dusting with icing sugar.
