MAKES 10

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
7 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, melted
10 Popsicle sticks
small dragées, to decorate

1 Beat the butter, sugar and egg with electric mixer until creamy. Add the flour. Using your hands, press the mixture together to make a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush a large baking sheet with melted butter or oil. Roll out the dough between sheets of waxed paper to ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into twenty stars, using a star-shaped cutter. Arrange on the baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool on the trays.

3 Place 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate on the flat side of half the cookies. Spread out to cover.

4 Attach the stick and sandwich the remaining cookies over the chocolate and press together. Allow the chocolate to set.

5 Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the stars. Decorate with dragées and allow to set.
