Chocolate Coffee Cardamom Biscuits

Instructions

1. Place the flour, cocoa powder, cardamom, coffee, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter and blitz until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, mix in the sugar then add the vanilla extract and egg and blend until the dough comes together. (If you don't have a food processor you can rub the butter into the dry ingredients by hand.)

2. Shape the dough into a rough log and place it on a long piece of clingfilm, fold the clingfilm over the dough and roll it into an approx 4cm wide sausage, twist the ends of the clingfilm tightly to seal. The dough will be quite soft at this point but will firm up after chilling so don't worry if you can't get it very neat at this point, you can always reshape it after it has been in the fridge for a while.
