Ingredients:
- 200 g butter
- 200 g powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 350 g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 bar of your favorite chocolate (to be cut into squares)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Chill the Dough: Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
- Shape the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch). Cut the dough into pieces large enough to wrap around two squares of chocolate. Carefully wrap the dough around the chocolate, sealing the edges well to prevent the chocolate from leaking out during baking.
- Bake: Place the wrapped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Enjoy!
