Frankenstein Cookie Sandwich
- Recipe by Shane Smith -
This is something fun to do with the kids over Halloween break. They take 35 minutes to prepare and around 12 minutes to bake and are simply spooktacular!
INGREDIENTS
250g butter, room temp
55g caster sugar
300g plain flour
45g cornflour
40g unsweetened cocoa powder
380g butter, room temp
380g icing sugar
1tbsp milk
Dash of peppermint essence
Green food colouring
30 sugar eyes
METHOD
To make the biscuits, place the butter and caster sugar into a bowl and mix until soft and pale in colour.
To this add the remaining biscuit ingredients and mix to form a soft dough.
Wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 160C/140C fan and line two baking trays with parchment.
Once the dough is rested, roll out on a floured work surface to a thickness of ½cm.
Using a 3” round cutter, cut out 30 biscuits.
Place 15 on each tray and bake for 12 minutes.
Remove and allow to cool.
For the peppermint buttercream, add all the ingredients to a mixer and mix for five minutes until soft and pipeable. Place the buttercream into a piping bag and pipe this buttercream onto the base of 15 biscuits and sandwich with the other biscuit.
Finish by adding a pair of sugar eyes. If you cannot pick up sugar eyes, you can make them buy sticking a small chocolate chip button into a piece of white fondant icing.
