Easter shapes this time, but you might as well use other shapes depending on the occasion. Decorate as desired!
Ingredients
about 50 cookies
- 300 g of cake flour
- 30 g of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 165g of softened butter
- 1 whole egg (medium size)
- 2 yolks
- 120 g of powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla (or chocolate) extract
- pinch of salt
First of all, beat the softened butter with the sugar and selected aromas for at least 3 – 4 minutes. It should be slightly fluffy.
Then add egg and yolks one at a time. They are to be thoroughly mixed.
Add flour, cocoa and a pinch of salt and knead with hands until uniform. Make balls, roll in foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Finally, on a well-sprinkled worktop, roll out the shortcrust pastry, fresh from the refrigerator, to a thickness of 5 mm. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out the biscuits.
Put the cookies on a baking sheet previously lined with parchment. (you can put the tray in the fridge for 15 minutes before baking)
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees C for 10-12 minutes.
Cool and decorate as desired with, for example, melted chocolate.
