Brussels Cookies Easy Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
– 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup cornstarch
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well until incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
5. Roll the dough into small balls, about a tablespoon in size, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
6. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once the cookies have cooled, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
8. Spoon the melted chocolate into the indentations of the cookies, allowing it to set for about 15 minutes.
9. Serve these delectable Brussels Cookies with a cup of hot tea or coffee, and enjoy the buttery goodness and rich chocolate filling in every bite.
