Chocolate cream biscuits
Soft cookies with chocolate filling - a perfect treat for kids (and not only)! This cookie recipe is a true delight for children, but also for adults who want to relive childhood moments with a simple yet incredibly tasty dessert. The cookies are delicate and aromatic, and the chocolate filling adds a touch of indulgence. Let's discover together how to prepare these delicious cookies! Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 15-17 minutes Total time: 35-37 minutes Number of servings: Approximately 20 cookies Ingredients: - 250 g butter (at room temperature) - 6 tablespoons of sugar - 1 egg - 500 g flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 100 g chocolate (dark or milk, according to preference) - 2 tablespoons of sour cream Dough preparation: 1. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer to combine the two ingredients on medium speed. Mix for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy. 2. Adding the egg: Incorporate the egg and continue mixing for another 1-2 minutes until well combined. The egg not only helps bind the ingredients but also gives the cookies a softer texture. 3. Dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract. The latter will add a pleasant aroma to the cookies. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the bowl with butter and sugar. Use a spatula to combine the ingredients until a homogeneous dough forms. The dough will be firmer and non-sticky, but don’t worry, it’s perfect! Shaping the cookies: 4. Forming the balls: Take pieces of dough and shape small balls between your palms. The ideal size is about 2-3 cm in diameter. These balls will rise slightly during baking, so they don’t need to be very large. 5. Sugar coating: Roll each ball in sugar to give it a shiny and sweet crust. 6. Forming the indentations: Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving about 5 cm of space between them. Use a thimble or your finger to make an indentation in the center of each ball. Baking the cookies: 7. Preheating the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). 8. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 15-17 minutes. You will know they are ready when the edges turn slightly golden and the center remains soft. Chocolate filling: 9. Melting the chocolate: While the cookies are baking, you can prepare the filling. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, being careful not to burn it. Add the sour cream and mix well until you obtain a smooth and creamy composition. 10. Filling the cookies: Once the cookies have cooled slightly, add a teaspoon of the chocolate cream into each indentation. Each cookie will thus become a little treat, perfect to be served alongside a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. Serving suggestions and variations: - Fruit jam: If you prefer a less 'chocolatey' version, you can fill the cookies with fruit jam (for example, apricot or raspberry jam) instead of chocolate. The sweet-sour taste pairs perfectly with the soft cookies. - Spices: You can add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for an even more special aroma. - Nuts or almonds: Add some chopped nuts to the dough for a crunchy texture. Nutritional benefits: These cookies are a good source of energy due to the healthy fats from butter and chocolate. Although they are not the lightest cookies calorie-wise, you can enjoy them in moderation. One serving (one cookie) contains approximately 150-180 calories. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use margarine instead of butter? - While you can use margarine, the taste and texture of the cookies will be different. 2. How can I store the cookies? - The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 5-7 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. 3. What kind of chocolate should I use? - Choose your preferred chocolate: dark, milk, or white. Each will add a different flavor. Now that you have all the necessary details, I invite you to start cooking! Soft cookies with chocolate filling are a perfect choice for a relaxing family afternoon or to share with friends. Cook with love and enjoy every bite!
