Also known as Chocolate Snowflake Cookies (in the US), these seasonal biscuits make an excellent home-made Christmas gift.
Ingredients:
400g sugar
120ml vegetable oil
115g dark chocolate, melted
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
240g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
120g powdered sugar (or icing sugar)
Method
Mix together the oil, sugar and melted chocolate in a large bowl. Whisk together until the sugar has dissolved.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla, mixing until thoroughly combined. In the meantime, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Add 1/4 of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir to combine then add the next 1/4 of the flour, again mixing to combine. Continue in this fashion until all the flour has been added.
Cover the bowl then set the dough in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
After this time, shape the dough into 3cm diameter balls. Roll each one in the powdered sugar then arrange 3cm apart on lightly-greased baking trays.
Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for between 10 and 12 minutes, until lightly coloured and cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing or serving.
These make an excellent Christmas gift, placed in cellophane bags and tied with ribbon.
