Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams icing sugar
- 175 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 30 grams optional toppings (chopped nuts, sprinkles, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and icing sugar together using an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy.
Sift in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and cocoa powder. Add the vanilla extract as well.
Mix the ingredients gently until a soft, smooth dough forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain the delicate texture of the biscuits.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
Pipe the dough onto the prepared trays in 2-inch-long lines, leaving some space between each biscuit to allow for slight spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just firm to the touch. Avoid overbaking for the perfect tender crumb.
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
Dip one end of each cooled biscuit into the melted chocolate and lay them on parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts, sprinkles, or other toppings onto the chocolate-dipped ends.
Leave the biscuits to set until the chocolate has hardened. You can speed this up by placing them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes if needed.
Serve the biscuits with tea or coffee, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
