Ingredients

For the Biscuits

2 cups All-purpose flour Essential for structure.
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened Should be at room temperature.
1/2 cup Sugar Adds sweetness.
1 tbsp Baking powder For leavening.
1 large Egg yolk Provides richness and binding.
2 tbsp Heavy cream Adds moisture and richness.

For the Chocolate Dip

1 cup Semisweet chocolate For melting as a dip.

Instructions

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 to 5 minutes).
Add the egg yolk and mix until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the mixture until a soft dough forms.
Lightly flour a surface and turn the dough out. Roll it to about 1/4 inch thick, dusting with flour as needed.
Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Baking

Preheat the oven and bake the biscuits until golden brown (around 15 minutes).
Meanwhile, melt the semisweet chocolate in a microwave until smooth.
Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack before serving with the chocolate dip.

Notes

For best results, ensure butter is at room temperature and avoid overworking the dough to maintain texture. Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
