Homemade Chocolate Hobnobs Recipes

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE HOBNOBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F /180 C and line a few trays with parchment paper.
• With a hand or stand mixer cream the butter and the brown sugar until pale, fluffy and smooth.
• Add the golden syrup and beat until it's incorporated.
• On a low speed, mix in the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Once the dry and wet ingredients are evenly combined bring the dough together into a ball, wrap with cling wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
• Roll the dough into small balls about the size of a tablespoon and flatten on the tray until they are about 2 inches in diameter. Be sure to leave a bit of room between the cookies for spreading.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown, then allow to cool on the trays.
• Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave.
• Spoon a teaspoon of chocolate onto the top of each cookie and spread out evenly using the back of a spoon.
• Once the chocolate has slightly set swirl your spoon across the chocolate working your way down the cookie in the shape of a figure eight. This will create that beautiful classic hobnob look!
• Allow to set before enjoying/dunking into tea.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add syrup and mix well.
• Combine the flour, oats and bicarbonate of soda in a separate bowl. Add to the wet mixture a bit at a time, ensuring you mix well to incorporate all the ingredients together. It should be crumbly at this stage.
• Place a 6.5cm cookie cutter onto one of the baking sheets, using a desert spoon, place a spoonful of the mixture into the cookie cutter and compress down as much as you can. Repeat until mixture is all used up.
• Bake in the oven for10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets.
