Ingredients:
  • 120g butter, softened
  • 75g light brown sugar
  • 75g golden caster sugar
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 180g plain flour
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 150g dark chocolate, cut into chunks (or Milk choc if you prefer sweeter cookies)
  • red colouring
  • 100g icing sugar
  • Mini white marshmallows
  • White chocolate buttons

Method:

STEP 1

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Once combined, stir in the flour, bicarb, chocolate and ¼ tsp salt and mix until it’s a dough.
STEP 2
  • Scoop 10 large tbsps of the mixture onto your trays, (make sure you leave enough space between each to allow for spreading) Bake for 10-12 mins or until firm at the edges but still soft in the middle – they will harden a little as they cool.
  • Leave to cool on the tray or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
STEP 3
  • Mix 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk with your icing sugar then add a few drops of your red colouring and mix well.
  • Once the cookies are cold cut them in half and spread red icing on to each side using the back of a spoon.
  • Add your mini marshmallows to one half as if they were teeth then pop the other half on top.
  • Finish by cutting a white chocolate button in half and inserting 2 halves into the marshmallows at the front to create the fangs.
  • Complete Step 3 with all the rest of your cookies and line them up ready for your Halloween table!
