Divine Raspberry Stuffed Brownie Cookies

Ingredients

• 1¼ cup 70% Divine Dark Chocolate with Raspberries, chopped (1½ bars)
• ¼ cup sunflower oil
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup water
• 1 cup of plain or GF Plain flour
• ⅓ cup Divine Chocolate Cocoa Powder
• ½ tsp baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• ¼ cup raspberry jam
• ⅓ cup, 70% Divine Dark Chocolate with Raspberries chopped small (about ½ bar)
• Freeze-dried raspberries, optional
• Flaky salt, optional

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 355 F and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Melt together the 1¼ cup of chocolate and oil in a bain-marie until glossy.
3. Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan, and warm gently to form a sugar syrup as the sugar dissolves (do not boil).
4. Sift the flour, Divine Chocolate cocoa powder and baking powder into a mixing bowl, and add the salt. Pour in the melted chocolate mix and the sugar syrup, and whisk to a glossy batter.
5. Drop 9 to 10 large tablespoons of the batter onto the baking trays shaping into circles, leave 2 to 3 cm around each one as they spread. Spoon ½ tsp raspberry jam into the center of each cookie and top with more cookie batter, making sure to seal in the jam.
6. Press in the extra ⅓ cup of chocolate on top of the cookies and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until crackly on top and melting.
7. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the trays to firm up, and cool fully on a wire rack. Sprinkle with the freeze-dried raspberries and some flaky salt.
8. Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 to 7 days.
