Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate chopped
  • 125 g unsalted butter chopped
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 100 g light brown sugar
  • 2 medium to large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 130 g plain all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Sea salt for sprinkling optional​

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn't touch the water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
  • Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the caster sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is light, thick, and fluffy.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars until well combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a smooth dough forms.
  • Portion Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place portions of dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Optionally, sprinkle a small amount of sea salt on top of each.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Cool: Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.​
