Ingredients for 2 sheets (73 cookies)
- 200g butter
- 319g sugar
- 1/2 package vanilla sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 274g dark chocolate cubes
- 292g white flour
- 2 knife edges of baking powder
Preparation
- mix butter with kneading implement until soft and foamy
- Add sugar, vanilla sugar, salt and eggs. Stir until it is a mixed mass
- Add chocolate, stir
- Mix flour and baking powder, use sieve to add to mix, stir until it is a dough
- Form into little balls (size of Lindt chocolate ball). Be sure to have enough space on the baking sheet, the cookies will expand.
- Flatten balls with baking paper
- Cool for 15minutes
- Heat oven to 175°C and bake for 11-13min. Be sure to only cook one sheet at a time otherwise the bottom might not fully cook.
Learnings
- Don’t forget to cool before baking
- Shaping balls and flattening works better with cold/wet (water) hands
- Bake only one sheet at a time
- Leave enough space on sheet between cookies or they may form one gigant sheet sized cookie ;-)
