Start by creaming together the butter and sugars. Once fluffy, add egg, vanilla, and salt.

Whisk again until combined, then sift in the flour. Fold through, then add chopped chocolate and fold through again.

Roll into balls, with a chocolate truffle in the middle. Pop in the fridge for an hour.

Whisk together all of the batter ingredients.
