Chilli Chocolate Rolled Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the large egg and mix until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, caster sugar, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Add the cocoa powder and chilli powder, mixing until well combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and rolled oats.

   Tip: Make sure to distribute the chocolate evenly.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly into a disk shape.

   Tip: Use a rolling pin to help shape the cookies.

6. 6

   Place the cookies onto the prepared baking tray, leaving about 2cm of space between each cookie. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

   Tip: Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Let the cookies cool completely before serving.

   Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
