• 175g Plain white flour (we use Allinson)
• ¾g Salt
• 100g White chocolate chips
• 100g Dark chocolate chips
• 100g Milk chocolate chips

For the chocolate frosting:

• 200g Icing sugar (we use Silver Spoon)
• 65g Butter (unsalted) soft
• 25g Cocoa powder
• 25ml Milk (whole) you might need a dash more depending on consistency

For the vanilla frosting:

• 160g Icing sugar (we use Silver Spoon)
•  55g Butter (unsalted)
• 15ml Milk (whole) you might need a dash more
• ½tsp Vanilla extract

For the decoration:

  Method: 

1. Preheat your oven to 180’c, 160’c fan
2. Grease and line the bases of 3 x 20cm sponge tins
3. Cream together the butter and sugar for the cookies until smooth and soft.
4. In another bowl, combine the flours, cornflour and salt.
5. Add the vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture, and then the eggs, one at a time with a spoonful of flour to stop the mixture curdling.
6. Fold in the rest of the flour and then all the chocolate chips. You should have a soft, sticky dough.
7. Divide the dough equally between the tins and spread to make a flat, level surface. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, then allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before turning out to cool completely on a rack.
8. To make the chocolate frosting, combine the ingredients in a processor, stand mixer or mix by hand until smooth and combined. If you can mix the frosting for up to five minutes it will become lighter and softer.
9. Repat this process to make the vanilla frosting. Combine the ingredients in a processor, stand mixer or mix by hand until smooth and combined. If you can mix each frosting for up to five minutes it will become lighter and softer.
10. Once the cookies have cooled, spread chocolate frosting on the top of the first cookie and then spread the vanilla frosting on the other. Stack these together to make a sandwich with an iced surface on the top.
11. Top with the final cookie and decorate the top by either piping or spreading with the remaining frostings and some sprinkles.
