Chocolate and Cacao Cookies

Ingredients:
50g dark chocolate
130g butter, cut into pieces
30g sugar
1 egg
210g flour
20g unsweetened cacao
1/4 tsp baking soda

100g white chocolate


Preparation:

    Melt dark chocolate with bainmarie method.
    Powderize sugar for 15 seconds on Speed 10.
    Add butter and mix for 1.5 minutes on Speed 3.

    Add egg and mix for 20 seconds on Speed 3.
    Add melted dark chocolate and mix for 30 seconds on Speed 3.

    Sift in flour, baking soda and cacao in a bowl.
    Start Thermomix on Speed 3 and add flour mixture through the hole of TM Lid. Continue for 50 seconds.

    Roll out cookie dough between 2 sheets of baking paper. Cut using cookie cutters. Set aside the excess dough, transfer cookies with baking paper into the tray.

    Bake for 20-25 minutes in preheated oven at 180ºC.
    Let them cool on a wire rack.
    I baked 2 trays of cookies with this recipe.
    Melt white chocolate with bainmarie method. (Or chop chocolate for 8 seconds on Speed 8. Melt for 4-5 minutes at 50ºC on Speed 2-3)
    Fill piping bag or paper cone with chocolate, decorate your biscuits as you wish.


Enjoy...
