Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 biscuits
Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate
- 100g unsalted butter
- 150g brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 50g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth and completely combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light and slightly fluffy.
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to incorporate fully.
- In another bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Chill the biscuit dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5cm between each biscuit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Chocolate Quality Matters: Use the highest quality dark chocolate you can find. The better the chocolate, the more luxurious your biscuits will taste.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, fold gently to keep the biscuits tender. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense biscuits.
- Chill the Dough: The 15-minute chilling time is crucial. It helps prevent spreading and creates a more concentrated flavor.
- Check Oven Temperature: Every oven is slightly different. Start checking your biscuits at the 10-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
- Cool Completely: Let the biscuits cool entirely on the wire rack to develop their perfect fudgy texture.
- Storage Hack: To keep them extra fresh, store in an airtight container with a small piece of bread to maintain moisture.
- Serving Suggestion: These biscuits are divine when slightly warmed and paired with a cold glass of milk or a hot espresso.
