Crumbly chocolate biscuits made with oil

Ingredients

• Flour – 120 g
• Sugar – 100 g
• Cocoa – 30 g
• Coconut flakes – 30 g
• Egg – 1 pc
• Baking powder – 0.5 tsp
• Soda – 0.25 tsp
• Vegetable oil – 60 ml
• Powdered sugar – 1 tbsp

Method

1. Step 1

   Short chocolate biscuits with coconut — just the thing with tea. Simple, quick, and the dough is light and easy to handle.

2. Step 2

   Beat the egg with sugar until the mix pales, about 3 minutes, add the oil and stir. I used olive, but a mild sunflower oil is fine. In another bowl mix flour, cocoa, baking powder and bicarbonate. Tip into the egg mix, stir, add desiccated coconut and mix again. Rest 7–10 minutes so it comes together. Scoop with a teaspoon, roll into balls and set on the tray — about 20 biscuits. Flatten a little with a fork and bake 20 minutes at 180°C. Icing sugar on top if you like.
