Chocolate Orange Fudge Crinkle Biscuits Recipes

CHOCOLATE FUDGE CRINKLE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Mix the cocoa, caster sugar and oil together. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until fully combined.
• 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. 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.
• 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.

Stir in the icing sugar until all of the sugar is coloured, then stir in the remaining orange zest.
• Form a heaped teaspoon of the dough into a ball, then roll in the sugar to coat, you might have to press the sugar on, particularly if you've chilled the dough. If the sugar is not sticking well, roll the balls of dough between your hands until the mixture warms up a little. Repeat with the remaining dough, then put, evenly spaced, on the baking tray.
