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 spatula 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.
Prepare the Snickers: use a knife and chopped board to cut the snickers into pieces, set aside.
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 cookie, transferring them to a wire rack.
Decorate: heat the caramilk chocolate in the microwave for 2 mins, stir, then spoon a teaspoon of it over the top of each cookie. Place the Snickers pieces on top of the melted chocolate and let set.
Store: once the biscuits have fully cooled and the chocolate has set, place them in an air tight container.

Note 1 Butter: I recommend using unsalted butter. Remove it from the fridge as a starting point so it will be at room temperature when you come to use it.
Note 2 Icing Sugar: Also known as confectioners sugar, this is a soft, white powdered sugar. It is excellent to use in baking and is a popular choice to use when dusting cakes and baked goods.
Note 3 Cocoa Powder: we also need to sift this ingredient. It brings the rich chocolate taste and colour to the cookie dough.
Note 4 Plain Flour: we need to sift this ingredient to get out any lumps or clumps.
Note 5 Snickers Chocolate: I use a 12 bar share packet of these. Then I remove individual wrappers and cut each Snickers into 6 pieces. The chocolate may crumble a little as you do this but for the most part they will stay complete (see tip at bottom of ingredients).
Note 6 Caramilk Chocolate: we use this to help decorate the biscuits. As I was creating this recipe, I realised that due to the soft nougat and caramel chocolate layers, baking the Snickers pieces into the biscuits was not going to work. But using melted chocolate to stick them on top does work!
