Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Optional Chocolate Chips: If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until set at the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For a crisper biscuit, bake for an extra 2 minutes.
