If you're looking for a delightful combination of spices and chocolate in a biscuit, Chocolate Chai Biscuits are the perfect treat. These biscuits blend rich cocoa with the aromatic flavor of chai spices, creating a unique and delicious snack that pairs perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee. This recipe is simple to follow and uses easy-to-find ingredients, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced bakers.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour, white rice flour, corn flour, and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing until just combined.
Add the 2 tablespoons of milk to the dough mixture. Mix until the dough starts to come together. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough is manageable and can be rolled out.
Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll each portion into a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press each ball down gently with the back of a fork to create a slight indent and flattened shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are set and slightly golden around the edges. Be careful not to over-bake them, as the biscuits should remain soft and tender.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, your Chocolate Chai Biscuits are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with a cup of chai tea or your favorite beverage.
