Equipment

  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 5 cm cookie cutter
  • 1 large baking tray

Ingredients

For the vanilla shortbread biscuits

  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 200 g vegan butter this should be block butter not spreadable butter
  • 300 g plain flour
  • 50 g cocoa powder

For the filling

  • 200 g icing sugar
  • 75 g vegan butter
  • 75 g peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon plant milk add 1 more tablespoon max if needed to make it smooth and creamy

Instructions

To make the chocolate biscuits

  • In a large bowl beat together the vegan butter and caster sugar until pale and creamy.
  • Next add in the plain flour and cocoa powder and mix until it comes together into a dough. This can take some time. Persevere, it will come together!
  • Turn the dough out on to a floured surface. Knead just once or twice if necessary to bring it together – no more or this could make a tough biscuit.
  • Roll out the dough until its 5-6 mm thick.
  • Cut out 24 round biscuits. You may need to bring the dough back together and re-roll to get enough cookies.
  • Place the biscuits on to a baking try lined with baking paper and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, pre-heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F / gas mark 4.
  • Once the biscuits have been chilled, bake for 10 – 12 minutes until golden brown. Don't worry if they still feel a bit soft. They will firm up once they cool down.
  • Allow to cool completely before filling.

To fill

  • Place the icing sugar, peanut butter, vegan butter and plant milk into a large bowl.
  • Beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag.
  • Pipe a swirl of buttercream around the edge of the base of 12 of the cookies.
  • Take the remaining biscuits and sandwich these on top of the biscuits with the buttercream and jam.
  • Enjoy!
