Servings: 6
Cook: 2 hours 15 minutes (your 35 minutes)
Ingredients
Butter (softened) – 180 g
Yolks – 3 pcs.
Sugar – 200 g
Flour – 300 g (2 cups of 250 ml)
Cognac – 1 tbsp
Cocoa powder – 4 tbsp
Powdered sugar – 4 tbsp
Directions
We prepare the necessary products. We take out the butter and eggs from the refrigerator in advance so that they warm to room temperature.
Separate the yolks into a bowl (whites are not needed). Add sugar. Rub the yolks with sugar with a spoon until white.
Add softened butter to the flour and grind it into crumbs with your hands.
Pour brandy into a bowl with yolks grated with sugar and pour in the butter-flour mixture.
We knead the dough. The dough should be elastic, but not too soft. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
We take out the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into several pieces of such a size that it is convenient to work with. We form sausages with a thickness of 2-3 cm from the dough. We return the part of the dough that we are not working with at the moment to the refrigerator. Cut the dough sausage into identical pieces 2-3 cm long and form cones.
Cover the baking sheet with baking paper. Put the finished cone blanks on a baking sheet and place them in the refrigerator while we form the next batch. Preheat the oven to 200-210 degrees. Place the filled baking sheet in a preheated oven. We bake cookies for 10 minutes at 200-210 degrees, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees. We bake the cookies until tender, another 7-10 minutes.
Mix cocoa powder with icing sugar. Roll warm cookies in this mixture.
