Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure the biscuits bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then beat in the egg until the mixture is well combined to create a smooth batter.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder, ensuring even distribution of the leavening agent, then gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until fully combined without overmixing.
  4. Scoop and shape dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about two inches apart to allow for spreading. Flatten each dough scoop slightly to create an even thickness.
  5. Bake the biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Melt chocolate and dip biscuits: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, using short bursts of heat to avoid burning, and stir until smooth. Once biscuits are cool, dip half of each biscuit into the melted chocolate and place them back on parchment paper to set the chocolate coating.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure butter is softened but not melted to create the perfect biscuit texture.
  • Sifting the flour and baking powder helps to avoid lumps and ensures even mixing.
  • If semi-sweet chocolate is unavailable, bittersweet or milk chocolate can be used depending on your sweetness preference.
  • Allow the chocolate coating to fully set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly to speed up the process.
  • Store the biscuits in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
