Zestful Eats

I stumbled upon this blog of recipes by Aunty Yochana the other day while I was blog surfing and came across this recipe for Brownie Biscuits. Now I know you’re thinking like what?? but think of it this way. Brownies are made of chocolate and nuts..now imagine that in a biscuit. Yums! So I saved the recipe.

Last nite, I couldn’t sleep and so as usual I decided to bake. I peeked into my fridge and found that I had all the ingredients. So at 5am, I proceeded to bake my biscuits.

Brownie Biscuits

200 gm. Butter
180 gm. Sugar <– I used castor
1 egg
100 gm. Walnuts or Cashew nuts <–  I used walnuts + almonds
1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder
320 gm. Plain flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
50 gm. cornflour
20 gm. cocoa powder
Some almond flakes or sunflower seeds for decoration
Some beaten egg for glazing

Method:

(1) Cream butter and sugar till sugar dissolves.

(2) Add in egg and beat till well mixed.

(3) Add in blended walnuts or cashew nuts, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and cornflour. I just measured everything in the measuring scale all together. Less washing.

(4) Blend into a dough. Rest for 10 mins.

(5) Roll dough between two sheets of plastic and then cut out using cookie cutters. I recommend using greaseproof paper instead of plastic wrap because its very leceh to use plastic.

(6) Place cookies on tray, glaze with beaten eggs and then sprinkle some almond flakes or sunflower seeds on top. If you’re lazy like me, don’t need to glaze & put almond flakes.

(7) Bake at 170C for about 15 mins. or till cooked.

(8) Cool cookies before storing into containers.

I forgot to take pics of the baked biscuits so here’s the pic from Aunty Yochana’s blog. Its quite nice, not too hard or too soft. Very easy to do also. Perhaps would be superb with chocolate chips. More chocolate makes everything better.
