Chocolate Nut Cookies
1.
The dark chocolate is broken into small pieces, and then the insulated water is completely melted and set aside. Cut the butter into small pieces in advance and soften it at room temperature, until you can poke a hole on the surface with your fingers, and then add the fine sugar. Use an electric whisk to mix the sugar and butter. Then add an egg yolk and beat well.
2.
Then add the melted chocolate liquid. Continue to beat with a whisk until it is fluffy. After that, sift in the low-gluten flour and stir evenly with a spatula until there is no dry powder. Finally, pour in the nuts and mix well with a spatula.
3.
Then take a fresh-keeping bag, pour the chocolate dough into the bag, knead it into a ball, and then shape it into a long strip. You can use the biscuit mold shown in the picture to help, or you can use the plastic wrap carton to help, as long as it grows into a strip. After that, put the noodles in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze them until they are hard. It must be hard. I freeze them for about an hour and a half. Then take out the noodles and tear off the plastic wrap. Then cut into dough pieces about 0.6 to 0.7 cm thick. Place the biscuit pieces in a baking tray lined with greased paper.
4.
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees, then go up and down and bake for about 15 minutes. After baking, take it out and let it cool when it is not hot, and store it in an airtight seal after it is completely cool.
Tips:
1. The process diagram of this biscuit was taken when making pistachios, and the final product was taken when making cashews. They all have the same formula, but the nuts are different.
2. The fine granulated sugar should be the kind of fine particles. If the sugar granules are too large, the biscuits will become rough, so the powdered sugar is best to add powdered sugar.
3. The biscuit dough must be frozen to the level of hard, otherwise it is too soft when slicing and it is easy to chop.
4. The knife for cutting biscuits is best to use the kind of thin-blade knife for cutting vegetables. You can't use a knife for cutting meat, and it is easy to chop. I tried it and learned a bitter lesson.
5. The nuts are preferably cooked nuts, roast them in the oven before putting them into the dough.
6. This biscuit is best made with dark chocolate, rich in flavor. If you change to cocoa powder, the taste will be worse.
