Method

To make the biscuits

1. Heat the oven 160°C. Cream the 200g butter and 80g icing sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Sift the flour, 2 tbsp cocoa, baking powder and cornflour into the butter and mix until it just comes together.

3. Roll the mix into walnut sized balls and place onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

4. Cook for 30 minutes, remove from the oven and cool before icing.

To make the icing

5. Put the 1 tbsp cocoa and 100g icing sugar in a bowl and set aside.

6. Heat the 20g butter and 1 tbsp hot water in a small bowl in a microwave for 20 seconds or until the hot water just comes to the boil.

7. Pour into the cocoa and stir until all the lumps have dissolved.

8. Take a teaspoonful of the icing and dollop into the middle of one biscuit. Press on the other biscuit and set aside to set.

Tip:

Once the biscuits have cooled pair them up with similar sized biscuits & set in rows, before icing. Once you have put a spoonful of icing between 2 biscuits, gently rotate the top biscuit. This will help to spread the filling towards the edges.
