Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 300 grams (10.6 ounces) self-raising flour
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) caster sugar
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 30 grams (1.1 ounces) cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheets by lining with parchment paper and heat oven to 190°C (170°C fan-assisted).
- Using an electric mixer, whip butter and sugar together until light and airy, creating a smooth creamy texture.
- Gently sift cocoa powder and flour into the butter mixture, carefully folding and combining until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Shape the dough into uniform small spheres using your palms, then delicately press each ball with a fork to create a gentle textured surface.
- Place biscuits on prepared trays, ensuring even spacing for consistent baking.
- First bake at 190°C for 5 minutes to set initial structure, then reduce temperature to 170°C and continue baking for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly crisp.
- Remove from oven and allow biscuits to rest on the baking tray for 2-3 minutes to stabilize their form.
- Transfer chocolate biscuits carefully to a wire cooling rack, letting them cool completely to develop a crisp exterior and soft interior.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smooth, even creaming that helps achieve light, fluffy texture.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for rich, deep chocolate flavor that elevates the entire biscuit experience.
- For gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour, maintaining similar consistency and taste.
- Chill dough for 15 minutes before shaping to prevent spreading and create perfectly uniform biscuits with crisp edges.
