- Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas 5. Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
- Beat the 225g margarine and caster sugar in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
- Mix in the flour and 60g cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.
- Halve the dough then wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough and cut with a 6-7cm round cutter or the rim of a glass. Put the cookies on the baking trays.
- Bake in batches until soft but firm, about 10 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
- While the biscuits are cooling put the filling ingredients in a bowl and beat.
- Spoon the filling onto half of the biscuits, add chocolate sprinkles and sandwich the other ones on top.
Use for leftovers
The filling works with just about any chocolate or sponge cakes and is really handy.
