Step 1

Line two baking trays with non-stick baking parchment and preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180°C. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This takes about 2 minutes with an electric mixer or double the time with a wooden spoon. Lightly whisk the egg, vanilla and milk and add to the mixture in quarters, beating well after each addition. Sieve the flour and cocoa over the top and lightly beat to combine.

Step 2

Sieve a little flour on the work surface and on top of the biscuit dough to stop any sticking, then use a rolling pin (or wine bottle if you don’t have one) to roll the dough to about ½ cm thick. Cut shapes with your cutters and transfer to the lined baking trays. Bake for 10 minutes then leave to cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3

Make the ganache by scalding the double cream in a saucepan until it just starts to boil, remove from the heat and add the crushed cardamom seeds and chocolate. Stir until the ganache is smooth and leave to solidify at room temperature.

Step 4

Carefully spread half the biscuits with the ganache and sandwich together.

Step 5

Don’t like cardamom? Try using a teaspoon of orange extract or mint flavouring instead.
