- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- a pinch Salt
- 200 g Mixed chocolate
- optional Chopped almonds
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the room-temperature butter with the brown sugar until fully combined.
- In the same bowl, add a pinch of salt, the vanilla, and the egg, then mix until combined.
- In the same bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and cocoa in batches, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- In the same bowl, add the chocolate pieces or any of the mentioned nuts, then mix lightly only, without overworking the dough.
- Cover the dough in the bowl, then place it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- After removing the dough from the refrigerator, divide it into pieces weighing approximately 40 to 50 g each.
- Shape each piece on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. You may fill it with a piece of chocolate or leave it unfilled.
- Leave space between the pieces on the tray, as the dough will spread during baking.
- Preheat the oven using top and bottom heat at 200 degrees for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 170 degrees.
- Place the tray on the middle rack and bake for approximately 13 to 15 minutes.
- After removing the cookies from the oven, leave them to cool slightly before serving.
