Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening and cocoa.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender biscuit texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until smooth and well combined for flavor and binding.
- Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined to form the biscuit dough.
- Shape Biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, slightly flattening each with the back of the spoon to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits feel firm to the touch and have set properly.
- Cool: Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing sogginess and ensuring crisp edges.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
- You can add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor if desired.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle some sugar or chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
