MALTESER COOKIES

- Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas4; line 2 trays with baking paper

- Put the Maltesers into a plastic bag and bash them a few times with a rolling pin, so you have a mix of larger broken chunks and crumbs

- Put the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl and beat together until fluffy; add the vanilla and egg and mix well to combine

- Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and Horlicks into a separate bowl to combine, then add to the other mixture, mixing until it forms a dough; mix in the Maltesers, taking care not to crush the big chunks too much

- Roll the dough into balls, about the size of a golf ball and place onto the line trays; make sure to leave a big gap between the cookies for them to spread

- Bake for 10-14 minutes; leave to cool for 5 minutes on the trays then transfer to a cooling rack
