Ingredients
The following ingredients have 20 Servings
- 260 gms – 2 cups plain flour
- 225 gms – 1 cup butter (at room temperature)
- 90 gms – ¾ cup icing sugar/powdered sugar
- 40 gms – 5 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instruction
- Put the butter and icing sugar in the bowl of a mixer with a paddle attachment and beat them on medium speed for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is very smooth.
- Then reduce the speed to low and add the salt, flour, and cocoa powder mixing only until just incorporated.
- Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough into a 0.5 cm – ¼ inch thick sheet. Cut into hearts using a lightly floured cookie cutter.
- Place the cookies on a tray lined with baking paper and place in the fridge for 15 minutes (this will help the cookies retain their shape when baked).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C – 340°F on the middle rack for 13 to 15 minutes.
- Let them cool down for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
