Chocolate biscuits

These biscuits are so delicious, I have to hide them in the pantry or the kids will eat them all in one sitting! They are a little chocolate indulgence and great to have with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 cups plain flour
• 1 tbs baking powder
• 1/2 cup cocoa sifted

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Cover a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
2. In a bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until well combined.
3. Stir in flour, baking powder and cocoa.
4. Roll spoonfuls into balls and press with a fork to slightly flatten.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.

NOTES

These biscuits beg for the addition of chocolate chips. If I don't have some I like to add some chopped nuts for crunch.

If they are for a special occasion or I am giving them as a gift, I add macadamias.

You can add some chocolate chips to turn this recipe into double choc biscuits.
