Step-by-step method

You're mixing dark chocolate and chilli spice into a buttery cookie dough that needs a good couple hours of chilling before baking. The main time commitment is letting the dough rest in the fridge, then it's just shaping and baking these gorgeous treats that pair perfectly with a warm cup of coffee.

Shape the cookies

Take the dough out of the fridge and pinch off pieces about the size of a ping-pong ball. Roll each piece into a ball in your palm, then flatten it into a disc about half a centimetre thick.

Bake

Place the discs on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Let them cool on a wire rack. They keep pretty well for quite a while — but trust me, they'll be gone in no time.

About this recipe

Love chocolate? Love chilli? It's a match made in heaven for the ultimate cookie. After my classic buttery shortbread, I baked up these gorgeous chocolate cookies with a kick of chilli. I first came up with the idea to go alongside flavoured coffees, the kind that get a pinch of ready-made chilli spice mix stirred in. I think they turned out great, and everyone loves them. Now it's your turn to give them a try.
