Dark Chocolate Crispy Treats

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F). Line an 18x18cm baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

   Tip: To ensure easy removal, use a generous layer of parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and sea salt.

   Tip: Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined.

3. 3

   Add the melted butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: If using nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs until well combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix.

5. 5

   Add the confectioners' sugar and mix until just combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to add too much, as this can make the treats too sweet.

6. 6

   Stir in the dark chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed.

   Tip: If using cooking spray, lightly spray the baking tray to ensure easy removal.

7. 7

   Press the dough into the prepared baking tray.

   Tip: Use your hands or a spatula to shape the dough evenly.

8. 8

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centre is slightly soft.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the treats during the last 5 minutes of baking, as they can go from perfectly cooked to burnt quickly.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the tray.

   Tip: Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the treats into desired shapes.

10. 10

    Serve and enjoy!

    Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
