INGREDIENTS:
- 50g butter, chopped - 100g good-quality dark chocolate - 1 egg, at room temperature - 1/2 cup brown sugar - 2/3 cup plain flour - 3/4 teaspoon baking powder - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder - 2/3 cup pure icing sugar Place butter and 50g chocolate in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on medium- high for 1 - 2 minutes, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, or until melted and smooth. Using an electric mixer, beat egg and brown sugar in a small bowl on high speed until thick. Stir in chocolate mixture. Sift flour, baking powder and cocoa over chocolate mixture. Mix well. Chop remaining chocolate into small pieces. Stir into dough. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm enough to roll. Preheat oven to 180'c. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Roll in icing sugar to coat. Place biscuits on trays, allowing room to spread. Bake biscuits for 12 minutes or until firm. Stand on trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Serve. (Source: Australia's Super Food Ideas December 2005 / January 2006)
