Chocolate Fudge Crinkle Biscuits

by BBC Good Food

Use store cupboard ingredients to make these moreish chocolate fudge crinkle biscuits. Be sure to try the festive version out - just as fudgey as the original!

Method

Based on 35 servings, adjust as needed.

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. If you fancy the festive version, add the orange zest, mixed spice and cinnamon to the dry ingredients before mixing.

Step 3

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 4

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.
