Roll out the dough, roughly 1cm thick, on a floured surface. Use a 6cm cutter to stamp out circles. Keep re-rolling the leftover dough to get as many as you can.Step 4
Using a skewer make two little holes in the centre to resemble a button and press a smaller biscuit cutter lightly into the surface to imprint an inner circle.Step 5
Place the biscuits onto a non-stick flat oven tray leaving space to expand, dust with a little caster sugar and bake for 10 mins.Step 6
Remove and leave to cool.Step 7
While the biscuits are cooling melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water.Step 8
