Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 175 g chocolate
  • 75 g butter
  • 120 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 240 g flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 ml extract I use almond
  • powdered sugar for coating

Method
 

  1. Melt the chocolate with the butter over a double boiler.
  2. Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the sugar in a bowl using a mixer.
  3. Pour in the chocolate mixture, beat once more, and turn off the mixer.
  4. Add the dry ingredients - flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt - and the extract. Knead the dough well with a spatula.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
  6. Scoop the dough with a tablespoon, roll into balls, coat generously in powdered sugar and place on a baking sheet.
  7. Once all the cookies are shaped, gently flatten each one with a glass.
  8. Bake in a preheated 180-190 °C oven for 15-18 minutes - until the aroma is amazing and cracks appear on top.
  9. Let the cookies cool - then dig in. Enjoy!

Notes

The more generously you roll the balls in powdered sugar, the more striking the white cracks on the cookies will be.
