Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Sift the whole wheat flour. In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour, Bournvita, and powdered sugar.
Cut in the cold, unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chocolate essence. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Add chocolate chips (optional) and gently fold them into the dough.

Chill and Shape

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll small portions of the chilled dough into balls. Slightly flatten each ball to form a cookie shape.
Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie.

Bake and Cool

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
Remove the cookies 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. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Bournvita Cookies

For extra richness, use dark chocolate chips or chunks.
If your Bournvita is particularly sweet, you may want to reduce the amount of powdered sugar to taste.
Don't overbake the cookies! Slightly underbaked cookies will be softer, while overbaked cookies will be hard and dry.
For a unique twist, add chopped nuts or dried fruits to the dough.
