Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100g milk chocolate (for variety)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Shape the Biscuits: Roll the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into rounds or desired shapes.
- Bake the Biscuits: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the biscuits on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Let cool completely.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt it gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time. Add oil if needed for a smoother consistency.
- Coat the Biscuits: Dip the cooled biscuits halfway into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate on top. Place the coated biscuits on parchment paper to set.
- Let Them Set: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or chill briefly in the refrigerator for faster results.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- For crispier biscuits: Roll the dough thinner and bake for an extra 2-3 minutes.
- Experiment with chocolate types: Dark, milk, or white chocolate all work well.
- Add flavor twists: Sprinkle sea salt, crushed nuts, or dried fruit on the chocolate coating.
