Preparation
Step 1
How do you make homestyle chocolate shortbread cookies? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft.
Step 2
Pour the sifted flour and powdered sugar into a large bowl. You may need a little less or a little more flour depending on its properties.
Step 3
Add the salt and baking powder. The salt will act as a flavor enhancer.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanilla powder.
Step 5
Sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps. Choose a high-quality product without unnecessary additives.
Step 6
Add the softened butter to the bowl.
Step 7
Crack in and add 2 chicken eggs.
Step 8
Knead the dough well until it reaches the proper consistency, then wrap it in a plastic bag and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 9
After 1 hour, take the dough out of the refrigerator.
Step 10
Pinch off small pieces of dough and shape them into balls of the desired size. Make the rest of the dough into balls the same way.
Step 11
Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 12
Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) and bake the cookies until done, about 12-15 minutes. The time and temperature are approximate, so use your oven as a guide.
Step 13
After the indicated time, remove the baking sheet with the cookies from the oven and check for doneness. Do not bake the cookies too long, otherwise they will become hard. Cracks appear on the cookies during baking, and their aroma is wonderful.
Step 14
The homestyle chocolate shortbread cookies are ready! Serve them with your favorite drinks. Enjoy your meal!
