Chocolate Nut Cookies

1. After the butter is softened, add the powdered sugar, stir well, and slowly stir until the powdered sugar and butter are evenly mixed. Do not beat the butter

2. Add eggs to the butter and mix well. It is better to add the egg in two times (stir until the first egg and butter are completely integrated and then add the next time), and the egg and butter are completely mixed. Don't send it either. Add almond flavor and mix well (no almond flavor can be omitted)

3. Cocoa powder and low-gluten flour are mixed and sifted. Pour the sifted flour into the butter paste and mix well with a rubber spatula to make the flour and butter completely mix and form a dough

4. Add almonds and chopped walnuts to the dough and knead it evenly. If the dough is sticky at this time, you can put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the dough is dry and has a certain hardness. Put the dough on the cutting board On top, it is shaped into a long strip as shown in the picture. Wrap the shaped dough in oil paper or plastic wrap, put it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, and freeze for about 30 minutes until it is firm

5. Take out the frozen dough. Cut into thin slices with a thickness of about 0.5cm, and arrange the cut biscuits into the baking tray, leaving a certain gap between each biscuit. Put the baking tray into the preheated 190 degree oven, bake for about 12 minutes, take it out, cool and seal it for storage

Tips:

1. All butter biscuits have similar recipes, but in order to achieve different effects, there will be certain adjustments to the recipe. For this biscuits, the amount of butter is reduced, the butter is not whipped, and all powdered sugar is used. These are all to reduce the ductility of the dough, so that the dough can maintain an angular shape when it is baked. Of course, this also sacrifices a certain crispy taste. The taste of this biscuit is definitely not as crispy as the mixed nut butter biscuit;
2. The nuts can be replaced with your favorite varieties, melon seeds, hazelnuts, and pistachios. The amount can also be adjusted according to your preferences, but the total amount should not exceed 75 grams, otherwise there are too many nuts and cookie dough Not easy to shape, easy to break when cut;
3. Cut the almonds into fine pieces or add them whole. It feels different;
4. If it is raw nut kernels, spread them on a baking tray before using them, and bake them at 170 degrees for 5-8 minutes. After roasting them, take them out and use them after cooling. The taste will be more fragrant.
