Ingredients

For the biscuits:
180g Unsalted butter 
1 tsp vanilla extract
60g Icing sugar
60g Corn flour
2 tsp Baking powder
180g plain flour

For the buttercream:
120g Butter
225g Icing sugar
1-2 tbsp milk 

Decoration:
200g dark 70% cocoa chocolate
100g milk chocolate

Method
~~~
1. Line 2 baking trays with baking parchment and pre heat oven to 180c fan.
2. Beat the butter and vanilla extract until pale and creamy.
3. Sift in the icing sugar, corn flour, baking powder and flour, then fold it in until it's smooth and well combined.
4. Next roll the mixture into 24 balls (which will make 12 complete biscuits) and place on baking tray. I find about a tbsp of mixture creates the perfect size biscuit.
5. Using a fork dipped in icing sugar slightly squash each biscuit.

6. Bake for 12 mins or until golden brown.
7. To make the buttercream, beat the butter until it is pale and light and creamy. Next add in the icing sugar and beat until it's all combined. Finally add in the milk and beat until it's light and fluffy.

8. Next sandwich the halves together
9. Melt the chocolate and dip half of the biscuit in the chocolate and set aside to allow the chocolate to set and then enjoy.
