Ingredients

  • 60 g cocoa powder ensure dairy-free if necessary
  • 60 ml vegetable oil
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 175 g gluten-free plain flour
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
  • 50 g icing sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare a couple of baking trays by lining them with non stick baking paper.
  • Sieve your cocoa into a large bowl, add in your oil and caster sugar and mix together till combined - it will be very thick. (I tend to just do this with a spatula)
  • Add in your eggs, one at a time and mix in-between each until combined. I do this with my electric hand whisk, but you could easily do it by hand.
  • Add in your flour, xanthan gum and baking powder and mix until it all comes together to form a soft dough.
  • Place into the fridge to chill for about an hour to firm up.
  • Preheat your oven to 170C Fan / 190C.
  • Once chilled, remove from the fridge and place your icing sugar into a small bowl.
  • Take about 45g of the dough and roll it into a ball in your hand. Then roll each ball into the icing sugar and place onto your prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for around 10-12 minutes until they have the lovely cracked effect on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray before allowing them to finish cooling on a rack. Enjoy!

Notes

You could add a couple of drops on mint or orange extract to these so make then mint chocolate or chocolate orange - now theres a delicious idea! :)
