Instructions

Step 1

1. Beat the powdered sugar with butter until creamy. Add the egg and beat until combined. Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

Step 2

2. Combine the mixture with flour and salt, and quickly knead the dough. As soon as it starts to gather into a ball, take it out of the bowl, shape it into a rectangle about 1cm high, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.Chilling the dough ensures a tender and flaky texture.

Step 3

3. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2.5mm. Cut out the cookies using your desired shape. For even thickness, use rolling pin guides or two stacked rolling pins.

Step 4

4. Bake the cookies at 347°F (175°C) with convection for 10-11 minutes until light golden. Timing may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the cookies.

Step 5

5. To make the ganache, bring the cream to a boil, then combine it with the chocolate until emulsified. Add the butter and optional alcohol, mixing everything thoroughly.Stir continuously to prevent the chocolate from burning.

Step 6

6. Let the ganache stabilize for 6 hours at 60°F (15°C) or refrigerate. Pipe with a pastry bag onto the cookie halves, then cover with the other halves. Refrigerating the ganache helps it set faster.

Step 7

7. Melt the chocolate and combine it with vegetable oil to make the glaze. Dip the cookies halfway into the glaze and let them set. Using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts can help melt the chocolate evenly.

Servings

Serving these Chocolate-Drizzled Cookies is where the fun begins! 🌟

Afternoon Tea Delight: Pair these cookies with a cup of Earl Grey tea. The citrus notes in the tea complement the rich flavors of the chocolate, creating a delightful and sophisticated experience.

Milk and Cookies: Serve with a glass of cold milk 🥛. The classic pairing is nostalgic and is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.

Coffee Companion: These cookies make an excellent match with a cappuccino or espresso ☕. The bitterness of the coffee beautifully balances the sweetness of the chocolate ganache and glaze.

Dessert Platter: For a more extravagant presentation, arrange the cookies on a platter with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar. Add a sprig of mint for a touch of green. 🍓🍇

Variations

Whether you’re gluten-free or vegan, we’ve got you covered! 🌱✨

Gluten-Free Variation: Swap out the regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend you choose includes xanthan gum or add it separately to help bind your dough.

Vegan Variation: Replace the butter with vegan butter and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) instead of a regular egg. For the ganache and glaze, use dairy-free chocolate and coconut cream.

Feel free to experiment and make these cookies just right for your dietary needs!

Faq

  • How do I know when my cookies are done?

    They should be light golden and slightly firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them after the 10-minute mark to avoid overbaking.

  • Can I freeze the dough?

    Absolutely! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before using.

  • What type of chocolate is best for the ganache?

    A high-quality bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate works best for rich, deep flavor.

  • Why is my ganache grainy?

    Temperature control is key. Ensure your cream is hot enough to melt the chocolate completely, and mix slowly to avoid incorporating too much air.

  • How do I get the perfect consistency for the glaze?

    Combine the chocolate and oil until smooth and fluid. If it's too thick, add a bit more oil; if too thin, a bit more chocolate will help.

  • Can I add flavoring to the ganache?

    Definitely! Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a teaspoon of instant espresso powder for added depth.
