Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and u y and well combined. Add the vanilla extract.

Add the flour and salt to the butter and sugar and work gently to form a soft dough. Shape the dough into a disc or log, wrap in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Remove the dough from the fridge, place on a lightly floured surface and roll out to a thickness of 5 mm.

Cut out doughnut-shaped discs using a cookie cutter and place on the baking tray.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden and firm. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes, then dip into the cinnamon sugar. It’s important to dip the cookies while they’re still slightly warm so the spiced sugar sticks to them. Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

Place the Caramel Treat in a bowl and mix using a spatula until smooth. Spread the caramel over the cookies, then top with the Chuckles and nuts. Drizzle with white chocolate.
