Winter wonder baking

Chocolate sprinkle cookies and girl talk; the ideal recipe for a nice Saturday (after)noon.

Are you licking your lips already? Let’s make some yourself. Here's the ideal cookie recipe (from the book Verslaafd aan Chocolade - in English Addicted to Chocolate).

All you need (for about 24 cookies)

120 g butter

baking paper

100 g brown sugar

1 egg

220 g self-raising flour

a pinch of salt

125 g chocolate (sprinkles or chopped; dark, milk or white; it’s all possible)

(optional: 50 g nuts, cut into pieces)

How you m/bake it

preheat oven (110°C)

beat the butter and sugar

add the egg

sift the flour and salt onto the pastry

keep on mixing until you get a “sticky” dough

add the chocolate (and nuts)

Do you want round cookies? Drop little “piles” of dough onto a baking plate*. (Keep enough space between the cookies-to-be because the dough will “spread” in the oven.)

Do you want (like I did) use pastry cutters to get (and eat) nicely shaped cookies? Let the dough rest in the fridge for a few hours. Roll out the dough, cut out the cookies and arrange them on a baking plate (*covered with baking paper or butter).

Have them baked for about 15 minutes.

P.S. I’d say: let me know how you liked it.
