Hide N Seek Biscuits (Replica)

I was wanting to try out this recipe ever-since I've seen this in a blog (Hamaree Rasoi), some 2 years ago. But it got delayed and somehow managed to bake this during Childrens Day last year. You can't imagine how excited my kids were when they knew I was going to bake one of their all time favourites. I think there's no any kid who don't like Hide n seek Biscuits. Grabbing one whole packet within seconds is not a big deal for them.

Ingredients:
(Recipe Courtesy:Hamaree Rasoi)

1/2 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup Powdered sugar
2 Egg yolks
1 1/2 cup All purpose flour
2 tbsp Cocoa powder
2 tsp Chocolate/Vanilla essence
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tbsp Choco chips +1/2 choco chips for decoration
Pinch of salt

Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 170 C.

Sift flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt .

In another bowl, beat butter and sugar using a beater till it turns fluffy and light.

Beat in essence and egg yolks one by one. Gently stir in the flour mixture and mix well.

Finally add in the chocolate chips and combine well.

Wrap this dough in a cling film and keep it in the fridge for 1/2 hour.

Take out the dough and take out a small chunk, roll it between your palms and press it on the baking sheet. You can use a roti press/maker for this. With a square cutter, take out the extra dough to make it a complete square. Try to maintain the same thickness while you are pressing the dough balls.

As soon as you are done with 12 biscuits on the tray, with a toothpick, draw slanted lines across the cookies.

I know this the worst picture I've ever posted.. but only for you :)

And sprinkle the rest of the choco chips on top. Bake these for 10 to 12 minutes. Don't over bake them. Cool them on wire racks and later store them in an air tight jars.
