• 225 gram(s) (8oz) unsalted butter, at room temperature (we used Lurpak, 99p for 250g, available at most supermarkets)
• 75 gram(s) (3oz) icing sugar, sieved
• 225 gram(s) (8oz) plain flour, sieved
• Half teaspoon(s) baking powder
• 2 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder, sieved (we used Green & Black's Organic Cocoa, £1.49 for 125g, from supermarkets)
• few drops vanilla extract
• 1-2tbsp milk
• 50 gram(s) (2oz) plain chocolate, melted for topping (optional)

Method

1. Preheat oven to gas mark 5/190ºC (180ºC in a fan oven). In a bowl, cream butter and icing sugar together with an electric whisk till pale and fluffy. Beat in flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and vanilla extract with enough milk to form a fairly soft dough. Chill to firm.
2. With damp hands, roll into walnut-sized balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with a wet fork, then bake for about 20 mins, till just firm to touch. Cool completely on a cooling rack. Serve as they are or drizzle with melted chocolate.
