- How to make CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY COOKIES:
- Mix the flour with the cocoa, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cubed butter and knead into a sandy dough with your fingers.
- Beat the egg lightly with a fork then mix it with 2 tablespoons of water.
- Add the liquid ingredients over the sandy dough.
- Make sure the dough binds with the liquid mixture.
- Knead a little, just until smooth. If the dough is not sufficiently bound, add another tablespoon or two of water.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.
- In the meantime, prepare the chocolate cream.
- Heat the cream well.
- Turn off the heat and add the chocolate broken into pieces.
- Mix until smooth. Finally add the mint essence. Let the cream cool down.
- After an hour, remove the dough from the refrigerator.
- Roll it out on a floured worktop into a 0.5mm (0.2 inch) thick rectangle.
- Cut out circles of 6-7cm (2.4-2.8 inch) diameter.
- Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Press gently in the center of each cookie to make a depression.
- Add the chocolate cream and top with a few slices of strawberries.
- Sprinkle a little brown sugar on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until nicely browned on the sides. Place on a cooling rack to cool.
- Once cooled completely, decorate with melted white chocolate. They are a real treat!
