Chocolate and Fudge Cookie Cups

We received a lovely bundle of goodies from Aldi last week and what better way to use them than to bake! Cookies combined with chocolate and fudge was the result - they are crisp on the outside and chewy in the centre, a tasty sweet treat.

Ingredients (makes approx 15)

Cookie cups:
220g self raising flour
120g caster sugar
100g soft brown sugar
1 egg
120g butter, softened
50g chocolate, chopped into small pieces

Decorating:
70g butter
125g icing sugar
30g chocolate, melted
Fudge pieces (from the Aldi sprinkle pot)


Method

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
• Combine the sugar and butter in a bowl
• Mix in the egg
• Mix in the flour
• Stir in the chopped up chocolate, trying to spread it evenly in the dough.
• Divide the dough into around 15 balls and place in a cupcake tray
• *Tip- use an ice cream scoop to make them the same size
• Cook for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned, allow to cool for 10 minutes
• To decorate the chocolate cookie cups combine the butter, icing sugar and melted chocolate in a bowl.
• Place the icing into a piping bag and squeeze onto of the cookies.
• Sprinkle over the fudge pieces
• Scoff!
