Weet-Bix™ Chocolate Thumbprints

Serves: 18
Prep: 10
Cook: 8

    Not just for Christmas — these soft biscuits with a special chocolate centre are easy and fun to make.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup margarine
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
    • 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour
    • 3 Weet-Bix™, finely crushed
    • 18 milk or dark chocolate buttons

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two flat trays with baking paper.

    2. Step 2

      Beat margarine and sugar with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat again.

    3. Step 3

      Add flour and stir well, then fold through the crushed Weet-Bix™.

    4. Step 4

      Place rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared trays, leaving room for spreading. Lightly press a wet finger into the centre of each biscuit, then place a chocolate button in the indentation.

    5. Step 5

      Bake for 8 minutes until golden. Cool on tray for a minute before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

    Tips

    • You can replace the dark chocolate buttons with milk or white chocolate, or fill the indentations with a spoonful of jam before baking.
