Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, around 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Beat the eggs in one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gradually mix the melted dark chocolate into the butter and sugar mixture until completely combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose white wheat flour, powdered sugar, and dry cocoa powder until well combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be fairly stiff.
- Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to slightly flatten each ball, creating a crosshatch pattern if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, store the biscuits in an airtight container. Enjoy with a cup of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate: Opt for good-quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage for the best flavor.
- Accurately measure your ingredients: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for the flour and chocolate.
- Chill the dough: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the biscuits from spreading too much.
- Use parchment paper: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure the biscuits don't stick and bake evenly.
- Don't overbake: Keep a close eye on the biscuits while baking. They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven, as they will firm up as they cool.
