Liquorice biscuits with blackberry curd

Yields1 ServingPrep Time15 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time35 mins

We adore liquorice in any format it happens to be, sweet, flavoured or salty, so these tasty biscuits are a delight to us but maybe an acquired taste to others.
These are a variation on what is more commonly known as thumb print cookies.

 90g Salted butter
 80g Caster sugar
 2 Tbsp Milk
 2 Tbsp Plain yoghurt
 2 Tsp Liquorice powder
 1/2 Tsp Vanilla extract
 150g Self raising flour sifted
 60g Custard powder
 Approx 50ml/50g of curd or jam, we used homemade blackberry curd

Add the milk, yoghurt, liquorice powder and vanilla, beat until combined

These biscuits will have more crunch on the day of baking, they will however happily keep for up to four days but will become softer in texter akin to a soft cookie, no less delicious
