Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Topping:
- 200 grams dark chocolate, melted
- Sesame seeds for sprinkling
Instructions:
Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the ground almonds, flour, and a pinch of salt until the dough comes together.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Shape the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll the chilled dough into small balls, then flatten them slightly to form thick discs.
- Place the shaped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the Cookies:
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are just starting to turn golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Add the Chocolate and Sesame Seeds:
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently.
- Dip each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, covering them halfway or completely, depending on your preference.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the chocolate.
Set the Chocolate:
- Place the chocolate-covered cookies on a parchment-lined tray and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Serve:
- Once the chocolate is set, serve the cookies or store them in an airtight container.
