  5. Preheat oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper

  6. Spoon a heaped tablespoon of dough per cookie onto the baking sheets, spacing the cookies at least 2 inches apart. You’ll need to do this in batches so leave the unused dough in the fridge until needed

  7. Bake for 15 – 18 minutes then let cool on the tray until you can peel them off the parchment paper

  8. Once cooled, sandwich two cookies together with a buttercream or cream cheese filling. My basic buttercream recipe is 150g butter (I use Vitalite sunflower spread or gold foil Stork brand margarine) to 350g icing / powdered sugar and a dash each of vanilla extract and milk to thin to spreading consistency
