Since the
begining of October I have my first very own Rope Skipping class. And…by the
way: I’m incredibly proud of that because Rope Skipping is quite an underground
sport.
It becomes
tradition that all my girlies get some homemade sweets for their b-day.
Muffins, cookies or anything similar.
For the
actual birthday I wanted to bake cookies with chocolate. But no basic choco
cookies. Instead I went for some semolina almond cookies with a hint of
chocolate on top.
I can tell…they
taste delicious. The semolina makes your cookies extra crunchy and in
combination with the chewy choco on top they’re highly addictive.
Really nice
thing about these cookies…they really don’t need any special equipment. All you
need are the ingredients (duh!), a cup to measure the correct amount and a
lined baking tray (that’s the very basic). So if there’s any surprise guest or
you need a nice little present right away…I deeply recommend these cookies.
If you want
and there’s more time you can always use a nicely shaped cookie cutter and/or
make more effort for decoration.
But enough
about all this…let’s get into the fun stuff.
Here’re the
directions:
Put one cup
of semolina, one cup flour and one cup chopped almonds in a big bowl. Mix a
little bit, then add one cup of sugar, two cups of butter and one teaspoon vanilla
extract. Knead all together, form a big ball and let it sit.
Meanwhile
chop 100g chocolate of your choice and line your baking tray.
Then take a
little amount of your cookie dough, roll it to a ball and flatten it
afterwards. Place it onto the baking tray and sprinkle with choco.
Repeat this
process until there’s no dough left. Then bake the cookies for about 15-20
minutes at 180°-200°C. Remove the
cookies from the oven and let them chill a bit. As soon as the choco on top is
solid again, they’re ready to serve.
Special tip
beside: With a hint of cinnamon or gingerbread spice these cookies gonna fit
perfectly for your Christmas baking.
And for all
the vegans out there… all you need to do is to replace the butter with
vegetable fat of your choice. Easy, right?
Enjoy
