Crumbly, indulgent chocolate biscuit

Do you sometimes get that craving for a chocolate biscuit? I know I do. And do you get a sinking feeling when you find your biscuit tin is a bit lacking (meaning, everyone's taken the favorites and left you with the ones you almost certainly avoid...yes, it happens to all of us...

Well, don't just wait...I've got the perfect recipe. A lovely light crumbly biscuit made indulgent with the gorgeous drizzle of good quality delicious chocolate!

And yes, I added a little dusting of sparkle on them to make them feel even more of a special treat!

It's quite simple really. All you need is a lined baking tray and piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. And the following ingredients:

125g unsalted butter

160g icing sugar

187g plain flour

37g cocoa powder

1 egg

Milk, dark or white chocolate for the drizzle( it's totally up to you)

Method: 

1) cream butter and sugar till light

2) add egg and beat

3) add sifted flour and cocoa powder

4) pipe the mixture onto a lined tray and bake for 15 min at gas mark 4

5) once cooled, decorate the biscuits with the chocolate of your choice.

 

I made the biscuits one day and decorated on another day...makes the job a bit easier
