Method

  • step 1

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

  • step 2

    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.

  • step 3

    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.

question

If I was going to freeze the dough to bake at a later date, do I cover in icing sugar before freezing or just before baking?

yikessss

Roll in icing sugar just before baking, if you add it before freezing it will slowly dissolve with the moisture from the dough
