Ingredients (9 cookies)
For the Cookies:
- 125g salted butter
- 75g granulated sugar
- 75g dark brown soft sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 230g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 100g Maltesers
- 100g milk chocolate chips
- 100g white chocolate chips
For the buttercream:
- 110g salted butter
- 45g icing sugar
- 1 tbsp malt drink powder
- 2 tsp golden syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 45g melted milk chocolate
To decorate:
- 50g crushed Maltesers
- Make the cookies: Brown your butter and combine with the sugars, egg, vanilla and milk. Sift in the flour, bicarbonate of soda , cream of tartar and baking powder and gently mix in with a wooden spoon. Pour in the Maltesers and chocolate chips and gently combine into a dough. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 180C. Divide your cookie mix into 9 balls and place on lined baking trays. Bake for 9 minutes until golden on the edges and just setting in the centre.
- Make the icing: while your baked cookies cool in the fridge, whisk together all the icing ingredients (remember to melt your chocolate) to create a light and fluffy icing. Place this into a piping bag.
- Decorate: once the cookies are cooled, pipe over the buttercream (smooth with a knife if you’d like) and finish with a sprinkle of crushed Maltesers. Enjoy!
Tips: I like to store my cookies in the refrigerator, and eat these at room temperature. If refrigerated, these bakes taste best when consumed within 5 days. They can also be frozen :).
