Recipe: Tasty Chocolate Biscuits

Chocolate Biscuits. These chocolate biscuits have a unique, yet delicious light, chocolaty taste. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a box grater, grate the butter into the flour mixture. Milk, white or dark chocolate can be used, as well as flavoured chocolate and cocoa powder. Use cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate when flavouring biscuit dough, as the powder is more easily.

How do you make Chocolate Biscuits? In a medium mixing bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and sea salt. Using a pastry blender, your hands, or a knife and fork, cut in the butter until the flour resembles coarse crumbs. You can have Chocolate Biscuits using 8 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Chocolate Biscuits step by step

1. Preheat oven to 170oC.
2. Line tray with baking paper.
3. Mix melted butter and sugar in a bowl.
4. Add egg and vanilla then mix again.
5. Gradually add flour, cocoa powder and baking soda then mix again.
6. Mix in the chocolate chips then divide the dough into 8 and place onto the tray (4 per tray so spaced out enough to expand).
7. Slightly flatten each batter ball and bake for 8-10mins.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30mins. They will be far too soft to handle at first and will harden when cooling.
9. Store in an airtight container for up to 1week.
