Simple chocolate biscuits
I was bored of looking for biscuit recipes and had nothing like vanilla extract, so I came up with this one inspired by another website. Amazingly no egg!
Ingredients
Makes: 35 cookies
- 225g butter, room temperature
- 110g caster sugar
- 275g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice, ground cinnamon or other ground spices
- 1 tablespoon drinking chocolate or cocoa powder
Method
Prep:15min ›

Extra time:5min ›
Ready in:35min
- Pre-heat the oven to 170 C / Gas 3. Line a baking tray with parchment, or grease.
- Cream the butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat till pale and fluffy.
- Sieve in the flour, spice and cocoa. Stir to make a firm dough. The dough will be come quite tough to stir, so use your hands!
- Using the wooden spoon and a tablespoon, place balls of the dough on trays. It may be best to use to metal spoons.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or till firm and golden.
- Let the cookies cool for 2 to 5 minutes and then take them off the tray and leave to cool and enjoy!

Just made these cookies !! The recipe made 20 for me and the kids love them - 28 Apr 2015
I had a real craving for a biscuit with my cuppa but rarely buy them to avoid eating them too often. I have NEVER made biscuits before so wanted a straight forward easy recipe and this one is exactly that. I made 12 large biscuits but could have quite easily made 20 smaller ones from the mixture. They were crisp yet moist too but next time I will add more chocolate as the spices were a bit dominant. Still very enjoyable though - 07 Jul 2016
Lovely and easy to make dairy free!! Needs chocolate chips or some nuts to add to the texture but the spices are a lovely touch of flavour. doesn't make as many as it says I did it and mine where fairly big and I made 12. Am going to try different flavours !!! would definitely recommend this simple quick and easy recipy. - 11 Jan 2015
