Ingredients
  

  • 300g Plain Flour
  • 100g Cornflour (If you don't have cornflour, use 100g more plain flour so 400g plain flour in total).
  • 250g Unsalted Butter (Softened).
  • 100g Caster Sugar (Plus extra for topping).
  • 100-150g Crushed Biscoff Biscuits
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 200g White Chocolate (Chopped or Chunks).
Ghost Decorations-
  • 100g White Chocolate
  • 50g Milk Chocolate
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla

Method
 

Shortbread-
  1. Line a 9" square tin with baking paper/ parchment paper and preheat your oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas 3.
  2. Mix the flour and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter with your thumb and forefinger until a shaggy dough is formed. Add in your chocolate chips and biscoff biscuits and mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Pour your mixture into the lined tin and press it firmly into the tin.
  4. Sprinkle some extra caster sugar on top for a classic shortbread (this is optional though).
  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it, you want a lovely light golden colour!
  6. Once baked, allow to fully cool before decorating.
Chocolate Ghosts-
  1. Line a large tray with baking paper/ parchment paper.
  2. Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl in the microwave, making sure to stir it every 30 seconds to prevent seizing.
  3. Take a teaspoon of the melted chocolate and place it onto the lined tray. Then use the spoon to drag it out a little to make a ghost tail.
  4. Pop them in the fridge for around 10-15 minutes to set.
  5. Once set, melt the milk chocolate and put it into a piping bag with a very small hole cut off the end. Pipe two eyes and a mouth onto each ghost.
  6. Put them back in the fridge until the milk chocolate has set then attach these chocolate ghosts to your shortbread with some melted chocolate and enjoy! x
