Chocolate biscuits recipe

Chocolate biscuits



These biscuits are so delicious, I have to hide them in the pantry or the kids will eat them all in one sitting. They are a little chocolate indulgence and great to have with a cup of tea or coffee.

Prep Time:

15 mins

Cook Time:

20 mins

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup cocoa, sifted

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Cover a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
In a bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until well combined.
Stir in flour, baking powder and cocoa.
Roll spoonfuls into balls and press with a fork to slightly flatten.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • These biscuits beg for the addition of chocolate chips. If I don't have some I like to add some chopped nuts for crunch.
  • If they are for a special occasion or I am giving them as a gift, I add macadamias.
  • You can add some chocolate chips to turn this recipe into double choc biscuits. 
  • These cookies are cheap to make and a savvy way to save on your weekly shopping bill as bought biscuits and snacks can really add up.
