Chocolate plus shortbread, equal success! 

For young and old, this recipe gives you delicious soft cakes that are also cookies! Not too sweet, though if you prefer them to be sweeter, add more sugar to taste.

This is an easy recipe that you can even make with the help of your children! Good luck!

Method:

I can’t even remember where I found this recipe, but it is one of my favourites  from being a child, even though they are not very sweet.

Put the ingredients together in a bowl and knead them with your hands until it becomes a dough. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes and let it ... "rest".

After half an hour, remove the chocolate coloured and flavoured dough mixture and  create 30-gram balls, make them like meatballs! These will inflate and the result will be ... small biscuits, fluffy and delicious

Alternatively you can roll the mixture into thin, 10cm strips and then plait them together to make small cakes. This is a lot of fun when baking with children, let them be creative.

Once we have the desired shape, we place them in the oven tray on grease proof paper to prevent them from sticking. Give them a little space between each cookie or cake, because they will get bigger and you do not want them to stick together.
Bake in a preheated oven at 160 ° C-170 ° C or 140 °C - 150 °C in the fan oven for about 20 minutes.

TIP: Butter must be at room temperature, soft enough to easily mix with the rest of the ingredients! If it is frozen, when we finish the kneading, there will be pieces of unmixed butter, which will not be easy to work with, and not give a good result. Take the butter out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you begin.
