How it's done
Dough
Place the butter, sugar and salt in a bowl, mix using the whisk attachment on a mixer. Add the egg and continue to beat until the mixture becomes lighter in colour. Combine the flour and baking powder, add to the mixture along with the biscuits, mix together to form a soft dough (do not knead).
Cookies
Shape the dough into 8 balls, flatten a little. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving plenty of room between each cookie.
To bake
Approx. 10 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200 °C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, leave to cool completely on a rack.
To decorate
Stir the caramel spread and transfer to a disposable piping bag, snip off a corner. Pipe the spread onto the cookies, sprinkle the biscuit crumbs on top.
