Chocolate pastries with candy filling
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour 1¾ cups
- Cocoa Powder ½ cup

- Sugar 1 cup
- Butter 15 oz
- Egg white 1 piece
- Powdered Sugar 1 cup
- Red Food Coloring to taste
- Multicolored candy 5 oz

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Mix the flour, cocoa, and salt. Using a mixer, beat the sugar and half of the softened butter until creamy. Add the egg and dry ingredients, knead well, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 355°F (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Take 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into balls, placing them on the baking sheets and gently pressing them down with a spoon to flatten. Bake for about 11 minutes, ensuring they do not become crispy. The cookies should remain soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Using a mixer, beat the powdered sugar and the remaining butter. Add the mint extract and 2 drops of food coloring. Beat well until light pink, adding more coloring if desired. Spread a little cream on 1 cookie and press another on top, allowing the cream to slightly ooze out from the edges. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Step 4
Chop the multicolored candy and place it on a plate. Dip the edges of the cookies in the candy to adhere to the filling.
