How to Make Chocolate Crackle Top Biscuits

  1. Melt 100g softened butter and 50g chopped dark chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt gently in a saucepan over low heat.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg and 100g packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 200g all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 50g roughly chopped dark chocolate.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
  8. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  9. Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of dough into balls.
  10. Roll the dough balls in icing sugar to coat evenly.
  11. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each biscuit.
  12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the biscuits cool on the baking trays for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Serve and enjoy!
