Oil, for greasing

125g unsalted butter, at room temperature

70g caster sugar

70g Demerara sugar

1 egg

60g dark chocolate, broken into small chunks

60g white chocolate, broken into small chunks

80g selection of nuts, chopped roughly

140g plain flour

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 190°C/ gas 5. Grease a baking tray or two and line with greaseproof paper.

Combine butter, caster sugar and Demerara sugar in a bowl. Use an electric mixer to cream the ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Mix in the egg, and then stir in the chocolate chunks and nuts.

Sift the flour, salt, and bicarbonate soda into the mix and combine well.

Using a teaspoon, place rounds of the mixture onto the baking trays, ensuring to leave a good amount of space between each one.

Transfer to the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown in colour. The cookies should have doubled in size! Leave the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
