How to prepare: Button-shaped cookies


To make the button-shaped biscuits, start preparing the shortcrust pastry. In the bowl of the planetary mixer, work the cold butter into cubes with the icing sugar with the K whisk, just enough to obtain large crumbs. Then add the yolk, salt and mix quickly.


Finally add the flour and knead quickly until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough. Form a loaf, wrap it in cling film and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.


Proceed in the same way for the shortcrust pastry with cocoa, adding it together with the flour. Let this also rest for 30 minutes.


After the resting time, roll out the shortcrust pastry with a rolling pin on a lightly floured pastry board, into a 4-5 mm thick sheet. With a 4.5 cm pastry cutter, make a lot of discs. With a second pastry cutter with a smaller diameter, about 3 cm, press lightly on each disk to form an edge without cutting the dough. Proceed in this way also for the cocoa shortcrust pastry placing the biscuits by hand, appropriately spaced, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, using the blunt end of a wooden skewer toothpick, make the 4 holes of each “button”.


Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the button-shaped cookies from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
