Ingredients
- 125 grams Dairy-free margarine
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornflakes
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 100 grams Dairy-free chocolate chips
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 12 whole Walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the dairy-free margarine and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or wooden spoon.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Sift into the creamed margarine and sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
Step 4
Gently fold in the cornflakes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5
Take small amounts of the mixture and shape into balls, approximately the size of a walnut. Place them on the prepared baking tray and flatten slightly with your fingers.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until slightly firm but not too hard, as they will firm up as they cool.
Step 7
While the biscuits are cooling, prepare the icing. Melt the dairy-free chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Step 8
In another bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the hot water to create a thick icing, then add the melted chocolate and stir until smooth.
Step 9
Once the biscuits are cool, spoon a small amount of icing onto each biscuit and top with a whole walnut.
Step 10
Allow the icing to set at room temperature before serving or storing in an airtight container.
