Description

These chocolate shortbread cookies are a delightful treat, perfect for the holiday season or any time you crave a rich, buttery cookie. I've been making these for years, and they always disappear quickly! The cocoa powder adds a lovely depth of flavor that complements the sweetness of the sugar. They're surprisingly easy to make, and the Thermomix® makes the process even smoother. The dough needs to chill for at least an hour, so plan accordingly. These cookies are perfect with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. They are vegetarian and can be made gluten-free with a suitable flour substitute.

Shape the dough

Divide the dough into thirds or quarters. On a large sheet of waxed paper, knead the dough a little bit. Gather into a ball, then shape into a 1 1/2-inch cylinder or square tube. Wrap up with the waxed paper, pushing in the sides so that the tube is evenly thick from left to right. Repeat with remaining dough.

6

Chill the dough

Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, and up to overnight.

7

Slice and bake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice dough into 1/4-inch thick cookies with a sharp knife. Arrange on the baking sheets, spacing them 1/2 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before eating.
