Here’s a simple recipe for Chocolate Biscuits:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50g) cocoa powder
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Shape Biscuits: Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between them. Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your hand.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still slightly soft.
- Cool: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
