Their delicate texture, vanilla aroma, and chocolate cream make them truly special. Plus, we'll add a personal touch and some tips to help you achieve the perfect result. Let's get started! Preparation time: 1 hour Cooling time: 4 hours Total time: 5 hours Number of servings: 30-35 cookies Ingredients: For the dough: - 200 g butter (at room temperature) - 2 eggs - 120 g powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla paste powdered sugar - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 450-500 g flour - a pinch of salt For the cream: - 130 g milk chocolate (choose a quality chocolate for better taste) - 150 ml liquid cream - 1 teaspoon rum extract - powdered sugar for dusting Step by step: Making the cookies 1. Preparing the cream: Start by preparing the cream so that it has time to cool and set. In a glass or stainless steel bowl, place the broken chocolate into small pieces and add the liquid cream. Place the bowl over a double boiler (a pot with hot water) and constantly whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and everything is smooth. Useful tips: Choose quality milk chocolate as it will significantly influence the taste of the cream. You can experiment with dark or white chocolate for different flavors. Once you have a smooth cream, add the rum extract and mix well. Now, put the cream in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours until it sets. 2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, mix the soft butter (at room temperature) with the powdered sugar until you get a creamy and fluffy mixture. Add the two eggs, continuing to mix. Then, incorporate the vanilla paste powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Trick: If you want an even more intense vanilla flavor, you can add the seeds from a vanilla pod. 3. Incorporating the dry ingredients: Start adding the baking powder and flour gradually, mixing with a spatula or by hand until you have a smooth, non-sticky dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes. This step is essential to achieve tender cookies. 4. Shaping the cookies: After the dough has cooled, remove it from the refrigerator and divide it into two. Roll out half of the dough on a floured surface until you get a thin sheet (about 5 mm thick). Use a cookie cutter to cut out various shapes. For half of the cut cookies, use a small lid or a glass to make a hole in the middle. Frequently asked question: Why make these holes? They allow the cream to be visible and add a decorative touch to the cookies. 5. Baking: Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and put them in the preheated oven at 180°C. Bake until they turn slightly golden (about 10-12 minutes). Be careful with them, as every oven bakes differently. Tip: Don't leave them in the oven too long, as they can dry out. They should be soft to the touch but have a slight crust. 6. Assembling the cookies: Once the cookies have completely cooled, take the cream out of the refrigerator and whisk it until fluffy. Take one cookie, place a teaspoon of cream on the smooth side, then place another cookie with the hole on top, gently pressing to stick them together. Additional details: These cookies are wonderful to serve with a cup of tea or coffee, and the powdered sugar on top gives them an elegant touch. 7. Serving: Before enjoying them, dust the cookies with powdered sugar. They are perfect for serving at a party or a gathering with friends. Serving suggestion: You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fruit sauce alongside them for an extra flavor boost. Calories and nutritional benefits: Each cookie contains approximately 100-120 calories, depending on the exact ingredients used. These cookies are a source of carbohydrates, healthy fats from butter and chocolate, but moderation is key. The cookies can also provide a dose of antioxidants from chocolate, and vanilla has calming properties. Possible variations: You can experiment with different types of chocolate (dark, white) or add ground nuts, almonds, or hazelnuts to the dough for added texture. Additionally, instead of rum, you can use orange or almond extract to change the flavor of the cream. These vanilla cookies with chocolate cream are not only easy to make, but also a treat that will bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones. Don't hesitate to make them whenever you feel the need for a sweet indulgence! Enjoy!
