Chocolate truffle cookies

Makes 12

Preparation time: 10 minutes  
Cooking time: 10 - 12 minutes 

These cookies are really quick to make and although they should be rested they are also fine to not be. Last week I made and cooked these in half an hour for Matt to make him smile after a hard day.

Ingredients
80g Plain Flour 
25g cocoa powder 
½ tsp baking powder 
90g caster sugar 
25g butter, cubed 
1 eggs 
1 tbsp Frangelico 
25g icing sugar 

Method
Line a baking tray or two with baking parchment or a silpat liner. 

Put the flour, cocoa, baking powder and sugar into a bowl.  Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs and all of the butter is incorporated. 

Mix the egg and Frangelico together and with a knife stir this into the breadcrumb mix, this may initially look dry but it does come together.   Wrap the dough in cling film and put into the fridge for half an hour. 

Preheat the oven to 180c.  Put the icing sugar on to a plate.  Cut your dough into 4 equal sized pieces and each quarter into 3.  This should give you 12 cookies.  Put your pieces in icing sugar as it will stop the dough sticking to your hands and roll into balls. Place on the baking tray and cook for 10-12 minutes.
