  • 100 grams Cake flour

Method

  • Prepare the crumble dough: Crush the biscuits and almonds.
  • Soften the butter.
  • Combine all the ingredients.
  • Prepare the cocoa cookie dough: Sift the cake flour and cocoa together.
  • Combine the butter and soft light brown sugar in a bowl and mix well.
  • Add the egg yolk.
  • Sift the flour from Step 3 into the bowl.
  • Add the crumble dough from Step 1 and mix well.
  • Knead the mixture together into a single ball of dough and wrap with cling film.
  • Let it chill in the fridge for more than 2 hours (I rest it for half day).
  • Preheat the oven to 338F/170C.
  • Crush the almond slices for decoration with your hands and mix with the fine granulated sugar.
  • Divide the dough into 10g balls and lay on a baking tray.
  • Flatten by pressing down and top with the almonds and sugar (from Step 6) to taste.
  • For an even nicer look, don't flatten them.
  • Sprinkle the almonds and sugar over the dough balls.
  • Bake at 338F/170C for 20 minutes.
  • Once the cookies are done, leave to cool.
  • The crispy cocoa cookies are done!
