Begin by creaming together 250g butter with 140g caster sugar. When it is light and creamy add 1 egg yolk and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Sieve in 300g plain flour with 2 tbsp cocoa. Finally mix in 150g chocolate, chopped into chunks (a mixture of white and milk).
Stir until combined, and then bring the mixture together with your hands and roll into small balls. Place spaced out on a greased baking tray, and press down lightly with a fork. Bake in a 180°C preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. (Tip: don't cook for longer than 15 mins, they want to be soft when taken out as they firm up when cooled.)
Leave to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
