Hello everybody.
Testing new cookies for Christmas orders, came across this recipe the other day and thought it’ll be a good choice and i was right.
Elegant crispy from the outside cookies , so easy to make and you can always make many variations of them. I mean you can envelope them with either hazelnuts or almonds and fill them with caramel or Nutella , all really tasty for sure.
Ingredients and method:
* 3/4 cup butter.
* 1/2 cup sugar.
* 1 large egg separated.
* 1/2 cup flour.
* pinch of salt
*1/2 cup cocoa.
*2 tablespoons cold water.
* 3/4 roasted finely crushed nuts.(hazelnuts or almonds)
* caramel or Nutella
* beat egg yolk,butter,sugar and salt till creamy.
* add flour and cocoa knead till you form a ball.
* form small balls then press them with your thumb a bit in the middle.
* beat the egg white and coat cookies with them.
* roast and crush finely the nuts then coat cookies with them as well.
* bake in a moderate heated oven for 13-15 minutes.
* when cooled add a little bit of caramel in the thumbprint.
I also made super easy coconut Maltesers balls but this time I roasted the powdered milk till golden , added a caramel taste to them .
Ingredients and method:
*2 cups dry milk powder.
* 2 cups coconut.
* 1/2 cup icing sugar.
* 1 pack cream.
* 1 tablespoon butter.
* 3 packs Maltesers.
* Note: I added some orange zest,goes well with it.
* Mix all ingredients together till they’re like a paste then cover each Maltesers ball with it and roll into a ball .
* cover with coconut and leave to cool in the fridge.
To fill the box for today”s order I added some rock cookies and lemon crinkles I made yesterday, turned out a beautiful colorful Christmas gift.
