Easy Chocolate Biscuits

I got this recipe years ago from home magazine I read while waiting for my GP. I’m quite sure it’s Julie Biouso’s.  It’s easy and the kids love the biscuits. My neighbour’s grandkids and their little friends are partial to them. Warning: they are quite addictive so make two lots if you will.

You will need:
120 grams butter
60 grams caster sugar
125 grams flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
30 gram drinking chocolate powder (not cocoa powder)

Pre-heat the oven at 190 degrees C.

Sift flour. Chocolate powder, salt and baking powder together and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar together then add dry ingredients – mix with spatula until well combined. Wet your hand and roll about one teaspoon of dough for each biscuit onto the baking paper lined oven tray. Flatten the dough with fork and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it towards the end and don’t let them burn as they can get brown quite quickly.

Leave them in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to the rack to cool completely. Store in an air tight jar.
