ana The cookies got their name from the tiny cracks on the white surface. These are beautiful and delicious chocolate sweets , crunchy on the outside and softer on the inside, perfect for the first cup of coffee for breakfast or afternoon tea. They are slightly firm after a few days, but still retain their wonderful flavor.
Their preparation is quite simple and quick : however, it is very important to respect the time left to leave the dough in the refrigerator to achieve the final ” craquelé ” effect .
