Name: Crackle Cookies
Prep time: 30 min
Cuisine: Greek
Ingredients: 300 g Soft flour (Farina brand); 300 g Sugar; 100 g Cocoa powder; 100 g Unsalted butter; 2 tsp Baking powder (20g size); A little salt; 1 tsp Vanilla extract; 4 Eggs; 200 g Icing sugar (powdered sugar)

INGREDIENTS

• 300 g Soft flour (Farina brand)
• 300 g Sugar
• 100 g Cocoa powder
• 100 g Unsalted butter
• 2 tsp Baking powder (20g size)
• A little salt
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 4 Eggs

For Baking

• 200 g Icing sugar (powdered sugar)

METHOD

1. Place all ingredients except the eggs and icing sugar into the mixer bowl and beat until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the eggs one by one and beat until you have a cohesive dough.
2. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to firm up for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180ºC using the fan setting.
3. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Take about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of dough (around 35 - 40g) and shape it into round cookies, lightly pressing the center so they have a 3 cm surface area. Dip the crackle cookies into the icing sugar and coat them all around. Place them on the baking sheets.
4. Leave a gap of 3-4 centimeters between the cookies. Bake the crackle cookies for about 7 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. When baked, the cookies will puff up and crack all around, becoming 'crackle' cookies.
