How I make it

Put the butter and 120 g (4 oz) of the chocolate in a bowl and melt in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Stir in the sugar. Let cool, then add the egg.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa and salt.
Add the chocolate mixture and stir into a dough. Add the remaining chocolate and mix until smooth.
Chill for 1 hour in the fridge, or 30 minutes in the freezer.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the dough out of the fridge; it should be firm. Scoop a little dough with a spoon and quickly roll it into a ball. Arrange on the sheet with space between them.
If you like, sprinkle the salt or pecans on top.
Bake 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
