Chocolate Melting Moments


Chocolate Melting Moments

(from Home Cooking by Rachel Allen)

Ingredients
125 gms unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
50 gms icing sugar
50 gms corn flour
25 gms cocoa powder
100 gms plain flour
about 2 tbsp or more Chocolate Hazelnut spread (Nutella) for filling

Directions
Preheat the oven to 180c/350f/gas mark 4. Lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream the butter in a large bowl and add the icing sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Sift in the corn flour, cocoa powder and flour and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a sausage shape and slice into 24 equal pieces. Roll into balls, place slightly apart on the baking sheet and then flatten each biscuit a little using the back of a fork. The biscuits don't spread much so bear this in mind when flattening them. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly firm. Remove from the oven and leave the biscuits on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once they have completely cooled, sandwich the biscuits together with a generous layer of Nutella.

Makes 24 biscuits, 12 when sandwiched together
