Chocolate shortbread is one of my favourites. Serve these sandwiched together with your choice of icecream — vanilla, strawberry ripple or hokey pokey.
Ingredients
| 220 g | Butter, slightly softened |
| 1 cup | Icing sugar |
| ½ tsp | Vanilla essence |
| 1 ½ cups | Cornflour |
| ¾ cup | Flour |
| ¼ cup | Cocoa powder (Main) |
| ½ Ltr | Ice cream (Main) |
Directions
- Heat oven to 150C. Line two baking trays with paper.
- Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Sift in the cornflour, flour and cocoa, mixing until it forms a soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Roll the dough on a lightly floured bench to a ½ cm thickness. Cut into rounds using a 6cm cutter and place on to the baking paper. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until cooked. Remove and cool.
- Before serving sandwich two biscuits together with your favourite icecream. Return to the freezer for 20 minutes to chill, then serve.
