Easy Makes 35-40 mini biscuits
Ingredients
60g cocoa powder, sieved
200g caster sugar
60ml vegetable oil
2 large eggs
180g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
70g icing sugar
Method
Step 1
Mix the cocoa, caster sugar and oil together. Add the eggs one at
a time, whisking until fully combined.
Step 2
Stir the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together in a
separate bowl, then add to the cocoa mixture and mix until a soft
dough forms. If it feels soft, transfer to the fridge and chill for 1
hr. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the icing sugar
into a shallow dish. Form a heaped teaspoon of the dough into a
ball, then roll in the sugar to coat. Repeat with the remaining
dough, then put, evenly spaced, on a baking tray lined with baking
parchment.
Step 3
Bake in the centre of the oven for 10 mins – they will firm up as
they cool. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool. Will keep for
four days in a biscuit tin.
