Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy biscuit removal.
Break the dark chocolate into small chunks and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer or by hand with a whisk.
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour and self-raising flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped hazelnuts and the melted dark chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out the dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each biscuit about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve your rich chocolate chunk biscuits with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of milk. Enjoy!

Rich chocolate chunk biscuits FAQ:
Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes. They should be golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown around the edges. They should still appear slightly soft in the center since they will firm up as they cool.
You can substitute self-raising flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for each cup of all-purpose flour used.
Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
Yes, you can use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate, but the biscuits will be sweeter and less rich. Keep in mind that the texture may also vary slightly depending on the chocolate used.
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chop the dark chocolate into varied-sized chunks for a more textured bite.
- Lightly toast the hazelnuts before adding them to bring out their nutty flavor.
- Allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking – this helps prevent spreading.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out even-sized biscuits for uniform baking.
- Bake the biscuits until just golden – they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
