Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350-375°F / Gas Mark 4-5.
Cream butter and sugar: Use electric beaters to cream butter till pale and creamy, add vanilla extract and combine.
Add flour and cocoa powder: sift the flour and cocoa powder into the butter mixture and combine. Use a spatular at the end so the cook dough forms a ball.
Portion into cookies: use a mini cookie scoop to portion the mixture across the 2 baking trays. Give the cookies a little bit of space as they will spread.
Oven Bake: place the baking trays into the oven and cook the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove when cooked, but leave on the baking tray to cool.
Once Cool: use a flat silicon utensil and slide it under each cookied, transferring them to a wire rack.
Decorate: heat the white chocolate in the microwave for 2 mins, stir, then spoon a teaspoon of it over the top of each cookie. Place the Milky Way pieces on top of the melted chocolate and let set.
Store: once the biscuits have fully cooled and the chocolate on top has set, place them in an air tight container.

Note 1 - Butter: regular unsalted butter is my recommendation. Grab it out of the fridge and have it at room temperature as it will be easiest to cream this way.
Note 2 - Icing Sugar: Sifting the icing sugar is the best way to ensure there are no lumps or bumbs in it.
Note 3 - Milky Way Chocolate Bars: I use a 12 mini share packet of these. Remove the wrappers and use a knife and chopping board to cut into 4 or 6 pieces to decorate.
