Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together.
  7. Roll the dough out to a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are set and slightly golden.
  9. Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve the chocolate biscuits with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea. Enjoy!
