Light Chocolate Biscuit with Berries
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to mix the dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg to the butter mixture and mix until well combined, followed by the milk.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your biscuits stay light and airy.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space in between for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, top with fresh mixed berries and sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnishing, if desired.

Notes
Feel free to experiment with your berry choices; peaches and bananas work fantastically well, too!
The biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or frozen for a longer shelf life.
Just reheat them in a warm oven before serving to bring back the fresh-baked taste!
Enjoy your baking!
