Total preparation time: 1 hr. 40 min.
Chocolate caramel cookies about 60 finished pieces.
Ingredients for the dough:
- 300 g butter (cold) in pieces
- 250 g powdered sugar
- 120 g of ground almonds
- 240 g of flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 pinches of salt
- 40 g of cocoa
preparation
- Knead the butter, salt, powdered sugar and almonds, if possible in the food processor, until smooth.
- Add the eggs and work up.
- Then add the flour and cocoa and work everything smoothly to a smooth dough.
- The dough is put in the refrigerator overnight.
Further processing the next day:
- The dough on a floured cake board or similar roll out thinly. If the dough sticks, also put some flour on the surface of the dough.
- Cut out the cookies and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- I have baked 4 plates of the dough, always 30 stars on a plate. The number depends on the size of the cookie cutter.
- The cookies are baked in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes. Careful, they burn up fast!
- After baking, let the cookies cool well.
Preparation of the filling:
- Cut 250g soft caramel sweets (such as Muh-Muhs) into small pieces.
- Heat 10 tablespoons of cream in a saucepan (do not boil) and dissolve the chopped caramel sweets and allow to cool.
Completion:
- On each cookie, with the help of a teaspoon, add a dollop of caramel cream and place a second one on top.
- I also painted some caramel cream on the top and decorated it with a chocolate nougat glaze. (Dissolve the bittersweet chocolate and cut - firm nut nougat mass in equal parts in a water bath.)
- Let the cookies dry and then you can enjoy them.
Good succeed!
