Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking parchment. Place the butter in a mixing bowl with the sugar and beat until pale and creamy. Sift in the cocoa and flour then mix to a soft dough.
- Divide the mixture into about 24 small balls. Place the balls onto the baking trays, setting them slightly apart, then use your thumb to press a small indent into the centre of each one. (Kids will love to help out with this bit!) Bake for 8-10 minutes until they’re lightly cracked on top and they look dry but are still soft to touch.
- While they’re cooling down, press the indents again to make them more pronounced – they’ll be hot so make sure a grown-up does it this time. Then allow them to cool completely.
- While they’re cooling, melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and beat in the condensed milk. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Once the cookies are cool, spoon a little of the chocolate filling into the centre of each cookie and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands. Store in a cool, dry place.
