Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening and cocoa powder.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully combined and smooth, enriching the dough’s flavor and texture.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a uniform dough forms without overmixing.
- Portion Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart, then flatten each slightly with the back of the spoon for an even shape and consistent baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are firm to the touch but still soft inside, indicating they are perfectly baked.
- Cool Biscuits: Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they maintain their texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better dough texture.
- Do not overbake to keep the biscuits tender; they will firm up as they cool.
- You can add chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
