Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the biscuits.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening and chocolate flavor.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, ensuring a tender texture in the biscuits.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, mixing until smooth for well-blended wet ingredients.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring continuously until fully combined to form the biscuit dough.
- Shape Biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each slightly with the back of a spoon to encourage even baking.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and set around the edges.
- Cool: Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps maintain a crisp exterior.
Notes
- Make sure to soften the butter at room temperature for easier creaming.
- Flattening the dough slightly helps the biscuits bake evenly and develop a crisp surface.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
- You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for added texture and flavor.
