About the bake
These little biscuits are made using wholemeal flour, which seems to make them slightly less sweet (but still very good!) Easy to make and a perfect little treat.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 5).
Step 2:
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the flour and cocoa just until a soft dough is formed. Leave to chill for approximately fifteen minutes.
Step 3:
Roll the dough into 14 even sized balls and place onto a greased baking tray or tray lined with non-stick baking parchment. Press each ball down gently with a fork – if the mixture starts to stick it may be easier to dip the fork in flour each time first.
Step 4:
Bake for 15 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust lightly with icing sugar before serving

Recipe Reviews
Easy to make, delicious. I would recommend preheating the oven after you have taken the dough out of the fridge. I think it is important to clearly create a recipe that even the least experienced baker would have the confidence to make. To those people you have to make this. Easy, really yummy. Moorish.
Very nice, reduced the sugar to 25g so they taste dark chocolatey. Very easy to do.
Very nice
