Melting moments

Well, the choco buttons didn't last long ... yum! It has been a "I need to bake twice in one week" kind of week. These melting moments taste a lot like shortbread and were so delicious that even our cat helped herself to one - her first and last ever biscuit. (We were not impressed.)

I filled a few with strawberry jam purely for the sake of convenience and we ate the rest of them unfilled but I think they would taste great with butter or lemon flavoured icing.
