Decoration Tips: For an elegant presentation, dust the biscuits with powdered sugar or drizzle them with white chocolate for a striking contrast. You can also serve them on a decorative plate with a side of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the warm, chocolaty filling. Sprinkle a few chocolate shavings or cocoa powder on top for an extra touch of decadence.
Ingredients:
- 120g soft butter
- 165g mixed sugar (half golden, half brown)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 290g flour

Method:
- Start by placing dollops of chocolate spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze.

- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually incorporate the flour and baking soda until combined. Freeze the dough for 20-30 minutes.
