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
1 ½ 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

Steps:

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.
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.
