Sometimes you want a cookie in the time it takes the oven to heat up. These are that cookie: 5 minutes to make, 7 to bake, no chilling. They come out soft and fudgy, deep red, and loaded with Kinder chunks and white chocolate chips — small, so you can have two.

The trick, as always, is to pull them out while they still look a touch underdone.

What you’ll need

Makes about 24 mini cookies.

  • 110g unsalted butter, melted
  • 150g brown sugar
  • 115g white sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 210g plain flour
  • 20g cacao powder
  • A drop of red food colouring
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 100g Kinder chocolate, chopped into small pieces
  • 100g white chocolate chips

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Whisk the melted butter with the brown and white sugar until combined.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  4. Sift in the flour, cacao, baking soda and salt and mix to a dough, then add the red colouring and mix until the colour is even.
  5. Fold in the Kinder pieces and white chocolate chips.
  6. Roll into small balls and bake at 180°C for 7 minutes — they should still look underdone when they come out.
  7. Let them set on the tray for a few minutes before moving; they firm up as they cool.

A couple of tips

  • Keep them small. These are mini cookies on purpose — small balls bake through in 7 minutes and stay soft.
  • A drop of colouring is enough. The cacao does most of the work; you only need a little red to get there.
