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!
