Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 egg
- 75 g butter (82% fat), at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons Green Sugar (or sugar, to taste)
- 170 ml milk
- 280 g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder with saffron Dr. Oetker
For the chocolate glaze:
- 100 g milk chocolate
- 3 tablespoons liquid cream
For the sugar glaze:
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 and a half teaspoons of water
- 2-3 drops of red food coloring Dr. Oetker
For decoration:
- Colored candies Dr. Oetker
Preparation Steps
1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, use a whisk to mix the egg with the sugar and softened butter. Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy incorporation. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
2. Adding the flour: Start incorporating the flour mixed with baking powder, alternating with the milk. This step is essential for achieving a fine texture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to mix. Finally, knead with your hands to ensure all the flour is well incorporated.
3. Shaping the cookies: On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1-2 cm. Use a glass to cut out round shapes, then with a smaller glass, cut out the center of each circle to create a doughnut shape.
4. Baking: Place the cookie shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and bake the cookies for 15 minutes, or until they become slightly golden. Be careful, as baking time may vary depending on the oven.
5. Cooling: Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack. This will help maintain their crispy texture.
Glaze
6. Chocolate glaze: In a bowl, melt the milk chocolate together with the liquid cream over a double boiler, stirring constantly until everything becomes smooth. This glaze will give an intense and creamy taste to your cookies.
7. Sugar glaze: In another bowl, mix the powdered sugar with water and the red food coloring. This will add a playful and colorful element to the cookies.
8. Decorating: Choose the cookies you want to glaze with chocolate and generously coat them with the chocolate glaze. Sprinkle colored candies or hearts for a festive look. For those glazed with sugar, repeat the process and sprinkle candies.
Serving and Suggestions
Once the glaze has set, the gogoși cookies are ready to serve! You can arrange them on a nice platter to attract your guests' attention. These cookies pair perfectly with a cup of aromatic coffee or fruit tea. Additionally, for a more decadent experience, you can serve them with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Variations
You can add additional flavors to the ingredients, such as:
- Vanilla extract: for a richer taste.
