Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 80 grams caster sugar
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the bowl with the creamed butter and sugar.
Mix the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture until a crumbly dough starts to form.
Add the milk to the dough mixture, one tablespoon at a time, and knead gently until a smooth dough forms.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 5mm thickness.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out biscuits in your desired shape and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm but not browned.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the biscuits with tea, coffee, or enjoy them on their own.
