Ingredients

• 225g unsalted butter, softened
• 100g caster sugar
• 175g dark muscovado sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 300g plain flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1½ tsp cayenne pepper (less or more to taste)
• 100g bar dark chilli chocolate, roughly chopped
• 100g bar white chocolate, roughly chopped
• 100g bar dark chocolate, roughly chopped
• vanilla ice cream

Directions

1. Beat the butter and sugars together, then gradually mix in the vanilla and eggs. In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, a pinch of salt, baking powder and cayenne pepper, then mix these into the butter and fold in all the chocolate.
2. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place walnut-sized spoonfuls of the mixture on baking sheets lined with baking parchment, leaving enough space between so they don't melt together. Bake in batches, for 10-12 mins, depending on how gooey you like your cookies. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 1 min before removing to a plate to cool completely. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
