Ingredients

Chocolate dough
135 g Dansukker Organic Icing Sugar
1 pinch of salt
5 g bicarbonate of soda
180 g plain flour
40 g cocoa powder
150 g butter at room temperature

Mint filling
240 g Dansukker Organic Icing Sugar
10 g Dansukker Vanilla Sugar
150 g salted butter at room temperature
Mint oil as flavouring NB: Only use a very small amount.

Instructions

Set the oven temperature to 175°C.

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and work them into a smooth dough using your fingertips.

Roll out the dough about 3 mm thick with a little flour and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. This quantity of dough will fill two sheets. If possible, refrigerate or freeze the rolled-out dough for 5-10 minutes to help the biscuits hold their shape.

Cut out circles with a round cutter or glass, and then cut the circles in half. Space the biscuits out, as they will spread slightly during baking. Bake for about 8-12 minutes. NB: The baking time can vary between ovens. Remove the biscuits and leave to cool.

Mint filling: Mix all the ingredients except the mint oil into a smooth paste using a rubber spatula. Flavour with mint oil and put in a piping bag.

Pipe a little filling onto the reverse side of half of the biscuits and attach the other biscuits.
