    Step 1

    In a bowl beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again before adding the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cornflour, chocolate chips and stem ginger. Bring it all together using your hands until the mixture forms a dough.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile to make the brownie layer, preheat the oven to 180ºC /160ºC fan / Gas 4. In a pan, melt the chocolate and butter and leave to cool slightly. Beat the eggs and caster sugar in a separate bowl until thick then fold into the melted chocolate. Mix in the flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and cocktail cherries until well combined then pour over the frozen cookie dough.

    Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through – you want to achieve a slight wobble on the top before taking it out. Leave to cool in the tin before refrigerating until ready to slice up and serve.
