Makes 18–20

Prep: 25 minutes Cook: 10 minutes

❄: Cannot be frozen

100g milk chocolate, broken into pieces

150g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces

75g unsalted butter

180g soft light brown sugar

3 medium eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

130g plain flour, sifted, plus extra for dusting

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon fine sea salt

120g dates, roughly chopped and rolled in 1 tablespoon plain flour to keep them from sinking in the cookie

Melt the milk and dark chocolate and the butter in the microwave or over a pan of barely simmering water, and mix together to incorporate. Set aside and leave the mixture to cool.

Put the brown sugar and eggs in a stand mixer, and beat together for 3 minutes at a medium speed (or use a handheld mixer).

Now add the chocolate and butter mixture, and continue to mix at a medium speed for 3 minutes.

Add the vanilla extract and mix it in.

Finally, add the flour, cinnamon, salt and chopped dates, and mix everything through with a large metal spoon.

The mixture will be quite runny, so leave it in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C and line two baking sheets with baking paper or silicone pads, and lightly dust the surface with plain flour.

Using a medium ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons, scoop the mix on to the prepared baking sheets, making 18–20 mounds. Don’t be tempted to flatten them at this point, they bake best in mounds. Space them apart evenly, allowing for them to spread a little bit while baking.

Place in the fridge for 20 minutes to chill.

Bake for 10 minutes. They should be slightly cracked on the surface and look dry.

Leave the cookies to cool completely on the sheets before serving. These will keep for about 7 days in an airtight container.
