Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups plain flour sifted
  • 1 tablespoon egg replacer such as Allergycare
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar + 4 extra tbsp's icing sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 6 tablespoons butter at room temperature
  • 24 chocolate Buttons, plus more for munching
  • 1 teaspoon pandan extract

Method

  • Combine the flour, egg replacer, 1/4 cup icing sugar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream together the butter, 4 tbsp's icing sugar and pandan extract. Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture and combine quickly with cold hands. If you need to add 1 tbsp water to bring the dough together then do so.
  • Wrap the Hulk lookin' dough in cling film (plastic wrap) and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Cram as many chocolate buttons into your mouth as you possibly can.
  • Grease and line baking trays (I used two) then roll your dough into 1 inch-sized balls and flatten them slightly.
  • Arrange the dough balls on your tray evenly spaced (they will spread as they cook).
  • Bake at 160 degrees C (gas mark 4) for 8-10 minutes then remove from the oven. Make 'thumbrints' in the centre of the half-cooked biscuits with a spoon (not your actual thumb!) I used a rounded mini measuring spoon. Return them to the oven and bake for a further 8 minutes.
  • Remove the biscuits from the oven and push in a little chocolate button or a couple of chocolate chips into the 'thumbprint'. Allow to cool thoroughly before taking them off the baking sheet.
