Chocolate dreams

Hello everyone!

Hope that you're having a wonderfully fun week-end! Mine has been great! Full of fun times and many memories!

It's still pretty cold outside here in Sweden, but luckily the sun is starting to show it's face a little bit more often. But while it's cold outside I'm filling up my freezer with yummy cookies...perfect to take along on the many spring picnics I'm so looking forward to ;-).

I recently made these chocolate cookies for Jnytt. But instead of making the whole batch the same way, I decided to try different flavours: orange, coconut and Daim (a typical Swedish chocolate). The Daim one was my absolute favourite, but all of them are worth a try.

Chocolate dreams: Makes about 30 cookies

250 g butter (room temperature)
¾ dl sugar (75 ml)
3½ dl flour (350ml)
1 yolk
3 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla sugar

1. Mix the butter and sugar until a light yellow colour. Add the yolk and mix a little bit more.
2. Mix the dry ingredients into the butter and mix until it forms a dough.
3. Make small balls of the dough and press down slightly onto a baking sheet (with waxpaper). Bake at 175 degrees for about 15 minutes.
TIPS:

Orange and chocolate flavoured cookies:


Mix in 1 tbsp orange zest in step 2 and continue as normal.

Coconut and chocolate cookies


Mix in 3 tbsp dessicated coconut in step 2 and continue as normal.

Daim cookies


Mix in 1 slab of Daim (finely chopped) in step 2. Before you bake the cookies sprinkle some more finley chopped Daim on the cookies.

Try to use real butter instead of marg when making cookies...you can really taste the difference!

Happy Baking!

Love,
Heidi
