Red Pepper Heart Chocolate Cookies

Red (pink) peppercorns - dried berries of Schinus molle - "Peruvian Pepper Tree".

Slightly spicy and sweetish, milder than black pepper and more aromatic.

Cookies with red pepper in chocolate coating, in addition in the shape of hearts, can blend in nicely with the Valentine's atmosphere :-)

Ingredients

200g butter

150g of fine flour

150g of fine flour

100g sugar

2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar

30g cocoa

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

a pinch of salt

a pack of red peppercorns - 20g

1 egg

Chocolate glaze

100g dark chocolate

25g butter

1 tablespoon of milk

Decoration

red peppercorns

Execution

Crush 15 red peppercorns in a mortar.

On the pastry board, mix the flour with krupczatka. Add cocoa, baking powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt and ground red pepper.

Add butter in pieces to the dry ingredients and combine them with a knife. To make it easier, the butter can be mixed with the dry ingredients in a blender to make the so-called "wet sand".

Add the egg and knead the dough. The finished ones are wrapped in cling film and put in the fridge for a minimum of an hour.

The cooled dough is rolled out to a thickness of about 3mm. We cut the cookies with the cookie cutters.

Bake for about 10 minutes at 180 ° C, careful, because cookies can bake very quickly.

Topping

We break the chocolate into cubes, dissolve it in a water bath (in a bowl over boiling water), stirring constantly, slowly add butter and milk.

Dip the cookies halfway in the glaze and decorate with red peppercorns.
