Ingredients

For the biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the chocolate cream:

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix until combined.

5. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.

6. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

7. To make the chocolate cream, use an electric mixer to cream together butter, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until light and fluffy.

8. Spread the chocolate cream onto the cooled biscuits. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.

Equipment

You will need the following equipment for this recipe:

- Baking sheet

- Parchment paper

- Medium bowl

- Electric mixer

- 1/4 cup measuring cup

- Airtight container

Notes

Be sure to use softened butter for both the biscuits and the chocolate cream. If the butter is too cold, it will be difficult to mix. If the butter is too warm, the biscuits will spread too much while baking.

If you don't have semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can use any kind you prefer. Dark chocolate chips would be great for a richer flavor.

Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
