Instructions
1
- Take 1 egg and separate the white from the yolk. Reserve 1 tbsp flour for rolling later.
- Place the remaining flour, sugar and butter in a large bowl.
- Knead until the butter is incorporated and the dough has a crumble-like consistency. Add the egg yolk and mix smooth.
- Wrap in baking paper and refrigerate until firm, 30-45 mins.
- When the dough has almost cooled, preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas mark 5.
2
- Sprinkle a little reserved flour on your work surface and the dough. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 5mm using a rolling pin.
- Cut into spooky shapes like ghosts and bats.
- Gather the remaining dough into a ball, roll out and repeat the process until all the dough is used.
- Place the shapes onto a lined baking tray, spacing them well apart.
- Bake until lightly golden, 10-15 mins.
Little Chefs TIP: Kids can help make the spooky shapes.
3
- While the shortbread cools, boil a pot of water.
- Reserve a few chocolate chips for the spooky eyes. Pop the remaining chocolate into a bowl and place on top of the pot. Stir until melted.
- Place the melted chocolate in a piping bag.
- Use the piping bag to stick the chocolate chip eyes on your shapes and make any other scary decorations you like.
- Place in the fridge until the chocolate has hardened, 10-15 mins.
