Soft muscovado cookies with dark chocolate chunks and juicy bites of pear. An unexpected pair that just works.

Ingredients

• Egg × 2
• 250 g Flour (all-purpose)
• 120 g Muscovado sugar
• 200 g Chocolate bar (baking)
• 140 g Butter
• Pear × 1
• 1 sach. Baking powder
• 2 g Salt

Method

1. Prep Pear & Chocolate

   

   Peel and cut the pear into small cubes. Roughly chop the chocolate.

2. Mix Butter & Sugar

   

   In a bowl, mix the soft butter and the muscovado sugar until they form an even, creamy paste.

3. Add Eggs

   

   Break the eggs into the butter/sugar mixture. Mix vigorously with a whisk until you get a smooth batter.

4. Add Dry Ingredients

   

   Then add the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt (optional). Mix again just until the dough comes together evenly, with no dry streaks of flour.

5. Fold & Chill

   

   Add the chocolate and the pear to the cookie dough. Mix and then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

6. Preheat the oven

   

   Preheat the oven to 220°C.

7. Take the cookie dough out

   

   After 30 minutes, take the cookie dough out of the refrigerator and make balls of about 4 cm, using an ice cream scoop or your hands.

8. Arrange on a lined baking sheet

   

   Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

9. Bake

   

   Bake for 8 minutes at 220°C.

10. Cool & Serve

    

    Once golden brown on the edges, take the chocolate pear cookies out of the oven and let them cool slightly before eating. They're ready!
