Chocolate Sugar Cookies
6 servings
40 minutes
Chocolate sugar cookies are the embodiment of American culinary tradition that combines the tenderness of honey, the richness of cocoa, and the airy texture of egg whites. This treat originated in the homes of caring bakers and is characterized by its fragility and delicacy. When baked, the cookies become soft and then crispy, reminiscent of delicate waffles with a deep chocolate aroma. Added almond flakes give it a refined nutty flavor that harmonizes with the warm sweetness of honey. The perfect treat for morning coffee or afternoon tea, these cookies can be both classic and shaped into elegant forms, turning into a special festive dessert.

On a baking sheet lined with paper, starting from the corner, place a cookie cutter, add a small spoonful of dough into it, and use a brush to spread the dough in a thin layer across the cutter. It's better to choose a round or triangular shape for convenience.

Do the same with the rest of the dough. The distance between the cookies should be at least 2.5 cm.
