December 17, Chocolate Christmas Kisses

Ingredients

200g margarine
1 cup caster sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp red food colouring
1 1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda

Method

Preheat oven to 180C
Melt margarine then mix in sugar then egg yolk, milk, vanilla essence and food colouring.
In a separate bowl sift flour, cocoa and baking powder.
Fold flour mixture into margarine mixture then mix well.
Spoon onto a lined tray or use a christmas tree plate in a cookie press.
When using the cookie press, use a tinfoil lined tray, shiny side up.
Bake for 6-8 minutes.

Filling

1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 Tbsp margarine
1 tsp peppermint essence
1/2 tsp of red food colouring
1/2 tsp of green food colouring
Boiling water

Split the icing sugar, margarine and peppermint essence between two cups/bowls.
To one cup add red colouring to the other add green colouring.
Slowly stir in hot water (pour over margarine to help melt it) in to each cup until mix is of the right thickness.
For this recipe it is preferable to have a thicker filling to help keep the biscuits together.

Putting It Together


Sandwich two biscuits together with peppermint filling in between.
