Ingredients

• 240 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour (or regular all-purpose flour)
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 150 grams Brown sugar
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 grams Raisins
• 120 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for texture adjustment)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a stand mixer or hand mixer, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. If the dough feels too dry, add the optional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins and chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the biscuits about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Flatten the tops of each biscuit slightly with the back of a spoon or your palm.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
