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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until evenly mixed to ensure your biscuits have a uniform chocolate flavor and proper rise.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, use a mixer or whisk to cream the softened butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which incorporates air for a tender biscuit texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a uniform dough forms with no streaks of flour.
- Form Biscuit Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Use the back of the spoon to flatten each slightly to help them bake evenly.
- Bake the Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits feel firm to the touch and have set, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool: Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up further before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents breaking and promotes a perfect texture.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming.
- If you like your biscuits sweeter, you can increase the sugar by 2 tablespoons.
- You can add chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a richer taste, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
