Fudgy Chocolate Cookies

In a large heat-proof glass bowl, add the chocolate.

Place this bowl over a pot of boiling water. This setup is known as a double boiler and ensures that the chocolate doesn't get overheated and burnt as it melts.

Once the chocolate is fully melted, add the sunflower oil to it and mix well to combine.

Remove the pot of boiling water from the heat, but keep the bowl on top for the mixture to stay warm as it is very important.

In a separate pot, add the water and the sugar and heat until the sugar dissolves and a syrup is formed.

Add the sugar syrup to the melted chocolate mixture, combine well and place it back on top of the warm water pot to keep warm.

Place a fine mesh strainer on top of the bowl and add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Sift the dry ingredients directly into the chocolate mixture.

Using a spatula, gently combine all of the ingredients into a thick cookie dough.

Using an ice-cream scoop, portion the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and place in the oven to bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Enjoy with warm milk or coffee!
