Before you begin

Chill the dough and filling separately so the sticky centres are easy to enclose before baking. If the centres become too sticky to enclose, return them to the fridge briefly while you portion the dough.

Method 做法

01

Chill the cookie dough

Cream the butter and both sugars until light, then beat in the egg. Sift in the flour, cocoa and baking soda. Fold in the chocolate chips, cover and chill for at least 2–3 hours.

02

Cook the filling

Mix the tapioca starch, sugar and cold milk in a small saucepan until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring until the mixture gathers into a sticky dough. Work in the butter until smooth. Cool, cover and chill for at least two hours.

03

Wrap the centres

Divide the cookie dough and mochi into 12–15 matching portions. Flatten a ball of chocolate dough, place mochi in the middle and wrap the dough around it, pinching the seam closed.

Bake

Place seam-side down on a lined baking tray with room to spread. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 12–14 minutes. Let the cookies stand briefly before lifting; serve warm for the softest centre.

✦Which starch gives the filling its stretch?
Use tapioca starch for the filling rather than replacing it with cornstarch. It gives this milk mochi its characteristic stretch.
