Step 1

Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 180°C. Sift the flours and cocoa powder into a large bowl. Stir in brown sugar. Make a well in the centre.

Step 3

Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, until smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

Roll heaped tablespoonsful of the mixture into balls. Place on the lined trays about 8cm apart. Use your fingers to flatten each ball until about 1.5cm thick.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven, swapping trays halfway through cooking, for 15-18 minutes or until the cookies are cooked through.

Remove from the oven and cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
