Ingredients

  • 125g butter
  • 150g chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids)
  • 225g sugar
  • 3 free-range eggs
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 250g plain flour
  • 30g cocoa powder
  • ½tsp baking powder
  • 18 marshmallows
  • icing sugar to dust

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (Do not let the base of the bowl touch the water).
  3. Whisk the sugar, eggs and vanilla together in a separate bowl then fold in the chocolate mixture.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder together, then fold into the chocolate and egg mixture.
  5. Place the mixture into a piping bag and pipe onto the baking tray (the mixture should make 36 biscuits, depending on size). Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and set aside half of the biscuits on a cooling rack. Turn the remaining biscuits over and place a marshmallow on top of each. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows have softened.
  7. Remove from the oven and set aside on a cooling rack to cool slightly. Press the cooled biscuits on top.
