Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180C/ 160C Fan/ Gas 4. Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.
- Sift the flour and cocoa into a large mixing bowl and stir in the sugar.
- Melt together the butter, sunflower spread and chocolate, then beat in the eggs. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, pour in the melted mixture and mix to form a dough.
- Divide into 44 balls. Space out onto baking sheets, press each down into a flat disc and cook for 12-15 minutes. Move to a rack to cool.
- To make the filling, melt the chocolate until smooth then beat in the mascarpone. Chill for 1 hour then use to sandwich cookies together in pairs.
- For the tower, form a circle with some of the sandwiched cookies on a platter. Whip the cream and liqueur until it stiffens slightly and dollop over the cookies. Arrange a smaller circle of cookies on the top, and continue with the layers until you have 1 cookie on top. Dust with icing sugar and cocoa and scatter with silver balls. Serve immediately.
