About the bake

These little biscuits are made using wholemeal flour, which seems to make them slightly less sweet (but still very good!) Easy to make and a perfect little treat.

5 ingredients4 steps

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 5).

       

    2. Step 2

      Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the flour and cocoa just until a soft dough is formed.  Leave to chill for approximately fifteen minutes.

    3. Step 3

      Roll the dough into 14 even sized balls and place onto a greased baking tray or tray lined with non-stick baking parchment. Press each ball down gently with a fork – if the mixture starts to stick it may be easier to dip the fork in flour each time first.

    4. Step 4

      Bake for 15 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust lightly with icing sugar before serving

    Turned out very well! I used coconut sugar as an alternative.. very morish & taste of dark choc 👍👍… I was wondering about using coconut oil sun too but didn’t want to risk it just in case ..

    Easy to make, delicious. I would recommend preheating the oven after you have taken the dough out of the fridge. I think it is important to clearly create a recipe that even the least experienced baker would have the confidence to make. To those people you have to make this. Easy, really yummy. Moorish.
