CHICORY CHOC DROP COOKIES
What you will need:
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 cup caster sugar
4 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 tablespoons of chicory
12 large chocolate buttons or Hershey Kisses
What to do:
Preheat your oven to Moderate and grease and line your cookie tray. In a large bowl beat together your sugar, vanilla and butter until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has whitened. Whisk in the chicory and gradually sift in your flour. Knead your mixture until a soft dough has formed. At this stage depending on the temperature of your butter you may need to add some more flour or a few tablespoons of milk to get the right consistency. Roll tthe dough into tablespoon sized balls. Aligned each ball of dough on your tray, slightly flatten then press in your chocolate button in the centre. Dust with a little caster sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies start to slightly darken. Makes about 12 large cookies.
