Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F. Line 2 flat baking pans with baking paper.
  2. Stir the butter and egg together in a medium bowl, then add cookies mix and stir until you have a stiff dough. If the dough is too stiff, stir in 2 teaspoons of water. Divide and shape the dough into 32 round balls (about 20g each) and arrange on the baking pans, leaving space in between each as they will expand as they cook.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden and firm. Cool on the baking pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and leave to cool completely (about 20 minutes).
  4. Spoon a heaped teaspoon (15g) of chocolate frosting onto the flat side of a cookie and sandwich together with another. Place onto a plate or board and repeat to make 8 sandwich cookies. Repeat with the vanilla frosting until you have made a further 8 sandwich cookies. Pipe or drizzle (see tips) half of the cookie sandwiches with melted dark chocolate and half with melted white chocolate, then scatter over the sprinkles. Leave to set.

Betty's Tips

  • Decorate with any sprinkles you have in your cupboard or that you can find in the supermarket – chocolate, vermicelli, confetti and even edible glitter would look great.
  • For neater drizzles, spoon the melted chocolate into a small paper piping bag and snip off the end; pipe thin zig-zag lines over each sandwich cookie.
  • Any leftover cookie sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container for 4-5 days but may start to soften slightly after 2-3 days due to the moisture in the icing.
