Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Caster sugar
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Then stir in the desiccated coconut.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels too crumbly, add 1-2 teaspoons of cold water to bind it together.
Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a teaspoon, and slightly flatten each ball into a disc. Place them onto the prepared baking trays about 2-3 cm apart as they will spread during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops look dry. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval.
Spread or pipe a small amount of melted chocolate onto the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the rest until all cookies are paired.
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing. You can refrigerate them for faster setting if preferred.
Serve the Romany Creams with a cup of tea, coffee, or as a standalone treat!
