Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup / 5oz / 141g - all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp / 7g - good quality cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp - salt
  • 1/4 cup / 1.85oz / 50g - granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp - baking powder
  • 3 tbsp - unsalted butter tempered, cut into small cubes
  • 3 tbsp - whole milk
  • 3/4 cup - dark chocolate
  • cocoa nibs optional, as needed

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
  • On medium speed, add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Add the milk and mix until the mixture forms a ball dough. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, role the dough out until it's 1/8" thin. Punch out circles with a round cookie cutter and transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy and lightly golden. Let cool.
  • In a microwave or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. Drizzle the cookies with the chocolate and while still melted, top the chocolate with cocoa nibs.
