Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter
150g
1 egg
50g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
1/2 cup dry cocoa powder
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 2/3 cup (150g) of butter and 3/4 cup (150g) of sugar until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Beat in 1 egg (50g) and 1 tsp (4g) of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup (72g) of dry cocoa powder.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to bring the dough together at the end. The dough should be smooth and slightly firm.
5. Shape the Biscuits:
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball gently with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to form a biscuit shape.
6. Bake:
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to firm up. The centers may still look a bit soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
7. Cool:
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, your easy chocolate biscuits are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

- For an extra chocolatey flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the dough.

- If you prefer a softer biscuit, reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes.

- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized biscuits.

- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

We hope you enjoy making and eating these easy chocolate biscuits as much as we do. With their rich, chocolatey flavor and delightful crunch, they're perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Remember, homemade treats always taste better, so share them with your loved ones and spread the joy!
