Mmmm Cookies

As I mentioned in a previous post, my Dad is a chef, well we spent the weekend with them last weekend, and The little man and his Grandad decided to do a spot of cooking, they made these pinwheel biscuits. The little man had a great time and I think Grandad might have had just as much fun.

Ingredients

4oz Butter or Margarine
4oz caster sugar
1 Egg, beaten
8oz flour
1/2 oz cocoa

Putting it all together

1. Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. add the egg a little at a time, beating after each addition.
2. Stir in the flour and mix to a fairly firm dough.
3. Divide the mixture in half.
4. Knead 1/2 oz of cocoa into one of the 1/2s
5. Roll both halves out into equal sized oblongs and put the chocolate piece on top of the plain.
TIP - If you don’t really want flour everywhere when rolling it out, you can use kitchen wrap and place the dough in the middle and roll it. I won’t stick to the rolling pin, the wrap or the board.

6. Roll up like a swiss roll and leave in a cool place (fridge) for 30 mins, to become firm.

TIP - Roll up on the kitchen wrap, when rolled together just wrap in the kitchen wrap and place in the fridge.

7. Pre heat oven to 180℃/350℉
8. Cut the roll into slices approx 1/2 centimeter thick, put these on a baking sheet, cut side down and bake for 15-20mins

Very Yummy!, taste testers verified that they were pretty good.

The Little Man even “helped” with the washing up!
