Ingredients
- 120 g of dark chocolate with 70% cocoa
- 15 butter g
- 75 g icing sugar
- 30 g cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of chemical yeast
- 1 egg
- 30 g of lacasitos
Step by step for perfect cookies
- We preheat the oven at 180°C. This ensures that the biscuits are cooked evenly from the start.
- In a small bowl, place the chocolate together with the butter and We melt in a bain-marie. Stir constantly to prevent burning and achieve a smooth texture.
- In another bowl, beat the egg with the powdered sugar until you get a creamy mixture. Then, add the cornstarch and baking powder, mixing everything well.
- Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the previous mixture. Stir until it forms a homogeneous mass.
- Place small mounds of dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Leave enough space between them, as the biscuits will expand during baking.
- We decorate each little pile by gently pressing several lacasitos on the surface. Play with the colors to achieve fun designs or adapted to the Halloween party.
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes. It is important that they are slightly soft when you take them out of the oven, as they will harden as they cool.
- Once out of the oven, let them cool on a rack before serving.
Additional tips and tricks
- Refrigerate the dough: If the dough is too sticky or difficult to handle, you can refrigerate it for 10 minutes before forming the cookies.
- customize colors: Use Lacasitos in specific shades to match other holidays, such as orange and black for Halloween or red and green for Christmas.
- Storage: These cookies will keep in an airtight metal container for several days, although they are likely to disappear within a matter of hours.
- Variety of chocolates: If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate, or even combine both.
These cookies are ideal to prepare as a family and an excellent opportunity to spend time together decorating them in original ways. You can serve them as part of a Halloween party or simply enjoy them with a cup of hot milk on an autumn afternoon.
