Ingredients
125g butter, chopped, at room temperature
2/3 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/4 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1 tbs milk
1 cup choc bits
200g good-quality dark chocolate, broken into squares
1 tbs hundreds & thousands
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two large flat baking trays with non-stick paper.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla essence in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add the flour and mix on low speed until just combined. Add milk and mix until dough comes together. Stir in choc bits and mix well.
Using 1 tbs of mixture, drop the dough onto baking trays allowing room for spreading. Bake for 14-16 minutes, swapping trays after 10 minutes or until light golden. Stand for 5 minutes on tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Place the chocolate into a small microwave-safe, heat-resistant bowl. Microwave, uncovered, for 3 minutes on medium, stirring every minute with a metal spoon until melted and smooth.
Spread the top of each biscuit with the chocolate, place onto a wire rack and allow to set.
