Melting Moments Biscuits/Cookies

• 180 g unsalted butter
• 60 g icing sugar (sifted)
• 60 g custard powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 180 g plain flour (all purpose)
• 100 g butter (softened)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
• 1 cup icing sugar (sifted)

1. Preheat oven to 180C fan forced and line two oven trays with baking paper.
2. For biscuits, cream butter and for two minutes in an electric mixer with paddle attachment and then add icing sugar and custard powder and mix until combines.
3. Sift the baking powder and flour together and then add to the dough and mix well.
4. Roll dough into 40 grams balls, place on the baking paper lined trays and press each ball with a fork to leave an indent.
5. Bake biscuits for 15 minutes or until light golden.
6. Stand trays for 5 minutes to cool and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For buttercream - whisk butter and vanilla until smooth and the add icing sugar and beat until mixture forms a paste, the consistency is thick icing.
8. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a small star (I just spread the mix on with a knife and consequently had some left over even though I put a fairly thick layer on).
9. To assemble, pipe buttercream in a circle onto the base of one half and then gently press the other half of onto the cream to make a full biscuit and to form a melting moment.
10. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.
