Chocolate cookies with prunes

Chocolate cookies with prunes are an exquisite dessert combining the rich taste of cocoa, the tenderness of butter, and the sweet-sour notes of prunes. Its roots trace back to European cuisine where chocolate and dried fruits often unite in refined treats. Fragrant cinnamon and vanilla extract add warmth and depth to the flavor, while milk chocolate makes the cookies especially soft and melting. Perfect with morning coffee or evening tea, highlighting the coziness of the moment. It's easy to prepare but requires a bit of waiting for the dough to cool for a perfectly tender texture. During baking, the cookies develop a crispy crust while remaining soft inside. This dessert is an excellent option for both everyday enjoyment and festive treats.
