After mixing the cocoa to the plain dough, get the oven pre heated. Cut out in desired shapes.
Pre heat the oven and bake these biscuits at 180 degree C for `5 minutes. Once done, allow to cool before storing.
Chocolate Biscuits in Microwave Convection Oven.
Makes – 40 small onesAll purpose flour / Maida – 2 cups
Icing Sugar – 1 & 1/2 cups
Cocoa powder – 3 tsp
Vanaspati / Hydrogenated vegetable oil – 150 gms
Vanilla essence few dropsMethod to prepare:
In a bowl, shift the flour with icing sugar well. Add the vanilla essence and mix. Then add the cocoa powder, combine everything.
Melt the vanaspati. Then slowly mix in the melted vanaspati to the dough This needs to be done with small quantity and you need to keep rubbing it to get that crumble texture.
Press the Convection mode in your Microwave, increase the temperature to 185 degree. The time duration for pre heat is taken care automatically by the mw oven.
Keep kneading in the dough and continue till you get a dough that is soft yet stays in shape. Make big balls, dust your palm and the board with flour, press out to 1 inch thick sheets. Using the cutter, press on the sheets.
Once all the cookies are shaped out, place them on the tray. Grease the tray if required, else you can place as such as the biscuits will let out oil during the baking process.
Once you have placed all the biscuits on the tray and the timer on the pre heat goes out, place the tray inside the mw oven and bake for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, you can let it rest for few minutes inside the oven. Then remove and allow it to cool before storing it in an air tight container.
With 2 cups of flour, I got two batches of 40 small sized biscuits. Once the cookies are cooled a bit, transfer them to the wire rack and bake the second batch.
These were delicious and for a chocolate lover it was heavenly!
