Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • - 200 g 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • - 125 g ½ cup butter, chopped
  • - 150 g ¾ cup caster sugar
  • - 100 g ½ cup light brown sugar
  • - 2 eggs medium to large size

  • - 2-3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • - ½ cup chilled salted butter

Instructions
 

  • Instructions
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, caster sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix well to guarantee all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. You can do this using a microwave or a double boiler. Once melted, allow it to cool slightly before adding the eggs. Stir in the eggs until fully combined.
  • Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to guarantee the biscuits remain tender. Utilizing the laminating technique for layers can help create a fluffier texture in baked goods.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, dollop the cookie batter onto the lined baking tray, leaving enough space between each scoop, as they'll spread while baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Extra Tips
  • For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the biscuits before baking.
  • You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk or white chocolate, to create variations of this recipe.
  • Remember that the biscuits will firm up as they cool, so allow them to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
