Giant Oreos

To make the biscuit:

1. Mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt
2. Rub the butter into the mixture (in the same way you would for a crumble!) until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Make a hole in the middle of your breadcrumb mixture in the bowl.
4. Using a fork, whisk the egg and the syrup together
5. Slowly add the egg mixture into the hole that you created, folding flour in each time you add a bit.
6. Using your hands, squeeze and press the mixture into a dough.
TIP – I find it easier to break the dough into 3 and then squeeze and press each one.
7. Flour your surface and gently roll the dough out until it is about 1cm thick
8. Using a circle cutter, cut circle shapes from the dough and place them onto baking trays lined with baking parchment.
9. Ensure you have 2 inches of space in between each biscuit
10. Chill the trays for at least 1 hour (critical!)
11. Heat your oven to 170 degrees c (fan)
12. After the 1 hour chilling, cook your biscuit shapes for 11-13 minutes
13. Once out the oven, leave for 5 minutes andplace on a cooling tray

To make the filling:

1. Combine all ingredients and mix until they resemble a thick paste

To make the Oreo:

1. Spread the filling on one biscuit and sandwich it with another biscuit
2. (Optional) decorate the biscuit using royal icing
