Makao-cookies

It's no use, I couldn't resist writing this so it's gonna be without pictures:


These cookies are my favorites and I still havn't met anyone who didn't like them. Their soft chocolaty flavour is truly addicting and making them pretty easy.


- 200 g  unsalted butter, softened
- 1 dl sugar
- 1½ dl  hot chocolate powder (I use Oboy)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon  vanillasugar
- 1 teaspoon  baking powder
- 3 dl  flour
ground almonds, coconut flakes or just nonpareils


I usually make it double.


Beat the butter until it looks soft and smooth, then add sugar, chocopowder, egg and vanillasugar, all by electric blender. Add in the mixture of flour and baking powder and beat it until the dough is smooth. Mixing the indigrediens by hand is really tough and slow so I prefer using the blender.
Roll the dough into about 3cm thick bars and wrap them in fresh foliopaper (aka plastic folio). Let the dough get harder over the night in a fridge. The bars look a bit odd but the dough tastes soo good :9


Heat the oven to 175C.
Cut the dough into about ½cm thick slices and decorate them with ground almond or whatever you like (I prefer coconut flakes since they add a nice flavour to the cookies).
Cook the slices in the oven for about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the cookies get burned, they taste better when they are slightly undercooked.


Enjoy!


Ps: If your cookies are still soft after they have cooled down, don't worry, that's natural and they really taste the best like that :)
