Spiced Chocolate Stars

Spray 3 large baking trays with Cake Release Spray to grease. Sift the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and Baking Powder into a bowl. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.

2

Add the egg and melted butter and gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients together, along with 10-15ml (2-3 tsp) cold water to make a firm dough.

3

Turn on to a lightly floured work surface and knead gently until smooth. Divide into 2 pieces and roll one piece at a time to a thickness of 5mm (1/4inch). Using a 5cm (2inch) star cookie cutter, stamp out 44 stars, re-rolling the dough as necessary.

4

Transfer the stars to the baking trays, spaced a little apart. Prick with a fork and chill for 30 minutes.

5

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4). Bake for 8-10 minutes until firm. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

6

To decorate, break the Chocolate into a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan of barely simmering water to melt. Remove from the heat but keep the Chocolate over the water to prevent it from setting.

7

Spoon approx.1 tsp of the melted Chocolate onto the centre of the star and carefully cover the biscuit with melted Chocolate.

8

Decorate with Glamour and Sparkle Sprinkle Mix before the Chocolate sets. Allow to set completely in a cool place before serving.
