Scrumptious, crumbly chocolate biscuits sandwiched together with decadent vanilla buttercream, that’s why they are called “Lovelies”!

Ingredients

185g unsalted butter, softened

80g icing sugar

150g plain flour

35g cornflour

30g cocoa powder

Pre-heat oven to 170C/150Fan/Gas3 & line two baking trays with baking paper.

Beat the butter & icing sugar together until creamy.

Sift in the flours & cocoa powder & stir in.

Take heaped teaspoons of the mixture & place on the prepared trays a few cms apart.

Bake for 15 minutes & allow to cool on the trays.

 

For the buttercream filling:

80g unsalted butter, softened

160g icing sugar, sifted

1 tsp vanilla extract

 

 

Beat the butter & icing sugar together until creamy then add the vanilla & mix until combined.

 

 

Using a teaspoon, place a blob of icing in the centre of a biscuit then take another biscuit & sandwich them together-push gently so that the icing squidges to the edge. Alternatively you can use a piping bag like I have done!

The “Lovelies will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
