Cobweb cookies

Ingredients

125 g	Butter, softened
¾ cup	Brown sugar
1	Egg
1 tsp	Vanilla essence
1 ¾ cups	Plain flour
¾ tsp	Baking powder
1 cup	Dark chocolate, chopped (Main)

To decorate

2 cups	Icing sugar
2 Tbsp	Hot water, up to 3 Tbsp if needed
28	Chocolate buttons

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a large oven tray with baking paper.
2. Beat the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla essence together until smooth and creamy. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Beat well. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
3. Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place about 5cm apart on the baking paper. Bake for 5 minutes until golden. Cool on the tray.
4. Combine the icing sugar with enough hot water to produce an icing that can be piped. Place in an icing bag or tube fitted with a fine nozzle.
5. Pipe 6 lines from the centre of each cookie to the outside edge an equal distance apart. When set, make 2 lines of icing between the lines — one around the outside edge and one a little nearer to the centre. Place a tiny chocolate button in the centre.
