Nothing says party time like sprinkles!! Dash and I are off to a two year old’s birthday party, and decided to make some cookies to bring along. Unfortunately Dash is still too little to eat these yet, but I’m sure they will become a favourite as he gets older!!
These were nice and easy, and the dough can be made in advance.
I used this recipe from Mums in the Mix.
Ingredients
- 125g butter, softened
- ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1½ cups plain flour
- ¼ cup self-raising flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 200g dark chocolate, melted
- ⅓ cup hundreds and thousands
Method
- Beat butter, sugar and egg in small bowl with electric mixer until combined. Stir in sifted dry ingredients, in two batches.
- Knead dough on floured surface until smooth; roll dough between sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Cover, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees or 160 fan-forced. Grease oven trays; line with baking paper.
- Cut rounds from dough using a circle cutter. Place on oven trays.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, and cool on wire racks.
- Spread tops of cookies with chocolate; sprinkle with hundreds and thousands (I found it easiest to put hundreds and thousands on a saucer and just dip the cookies straight in it). Set at room temperature.
Serve with a glass of milk for optimum deliciousness!
