Ingredients
- 125g/4½oz butter, softened, roughly chopped
- 1 free-range egg yolk
- 60g/2¼oz soft brown sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- pinch salt
- 130g/4¾oz plain flour
- 45g/1½ oz cacao powder
- pinch baking powder
- 100g/3½oz white chocolate, broken into pieces
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter, egg yolk, sugar, honey and salt together until smooth.
-
Gradually sift in the flour, cacao powder and baking powder and mix until smooth, but be careful not to overwork the mixture. Add the white chocolate and combine.
-
Roll the dough into a cylinder roughly 3cm/1¼in in diameter. Wrap in baking paper and refrigerate for 45 minutes, or until firm.
-
Cut the roll into 5mm/¼in slices and place on the baking tray, leaving a gap between the cookies.
-
Bake for 15 minutes; they should still be a little soft when you remove them from the oven. Leave to cool slightly before serving.
