Super cute dog bone chocolate biscuits, layered with white fondant icing. The perfect addition to a Dog theme party, to enjoy with your friends. These biscuits are not suitable for dogs.
Add the mini marshmallows and
water into a microwaveable bowl and pop them into the microwave on a high heat
setting for 40 secs.
Stir the marshmallows and heat
for a further 20 secs. Stir until no lumps remain.
Combine the melted marshmallows
with the fondant icing sugar using either the dough hook on a stand mixer or
with a silicone spatula.
Once the fondant begins to come
together, knead it with your hands for approx. 10 mins.
Add more water if the fondant is too
dry and more fondant icing sugar if it’s too wet.
Dust your work surface with royal/regular
icing sugar and roll out the fondant until it is 3mm thick.
Cut out the fondant using a bone
cookie cutter.
Set aside the fondant toppers and
allow to air dry while you make the biscuits.
Biscuits
Mix together the flours, cocoa
powder and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the butter into small chunks
and add to the bowl.
Rub the butter into the mixture
using your fingertips until you have a breadcrumb consistency.
Make a well in the centre of the
mixture and add the slightly beaten egg and golden syrup. Mix together until a
ball is formed. You may find using your hands is easiest.
Separate the dough into two
balls. Place one ball of dough on a sheet of non-stick baking paper and roll
out using a rolling pin. You want the dough to have a thickness of between 5mm
and 7mm. Repeat this process for the second ball of dough and place both sheets
of rolled out dough in the fridge to chill for at least 30 mins.
Once chilled, cut the dough using
the same bone cookie cutter you used for the fondant.
Place the cut dough onto a baking
tray lined with either a silicone mat or non-stick baking paper, leaving a gap
between each.
Put the baking tray in a
preheated oven at 160°C fan and bake for 10- 12 mins.
Remove from the oven and leave
the biscuits on the tray for 5 mins.
Carefully remove the biscuits and
place them onto a wired rack to cool.
Using a pastry brush, wet the
back of your fondant toppers with water and stick them onto your biscuits.
Tips
These biscuits are not suitable
for dogs.
Different brands of marshmallows
have varied consistencies when melted. As a result, you may need more water
than the recipe states.
When baking your biscuits, return
any uncooked dough to the fridge while the rest is in the oven.
