Ingredients
Biscuits:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 4 Tbsp. caster (superfine) sugar
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- Finely grated rind of 1 large orange
- 8 Tbsp. butter
- cup honey
- 1 Crunchie bar (chocolate covered honeycomb bar)
Icing:
- 3 1/2 Tbsp. softened butter
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tsp. orange juice
Directions
- Step 1Prepare cookies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), mix together flour, baking soda, caster sugar, and orange zest.
- Step 2Rub in butter until you have a breadcrumb consistency. Stir in honey and mix to form a stiff dough.
- Step 3Take teaspoons of the dough and roll them out into balls. Place them onto lined baking trays, spaced a little apart, and flatten them gently with the palm of your hand.
- Step 4Sprinkle Crunchie Bar pieces onto half of the biscuits.
- Step 5Bake in oven for around 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through but haven't yet started to color. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- Step 6Prepare icing: Beat together butter, confectioners' sugar, and orange juice until you have a smooth mix.
- Step 7Spread a small amount of icing onto the top of each plain biscuit, then sandwich together with a Crunchie-coated one. Absolutely delicious, and they will sit quite happily in the biscuit tin for a few days, not that they're likely to last that long
