Making cookie dough

It’s best to have all the necessary ingredients to hand and chop the couverture into rough pieces. Cream the butter and icing sugar together until smooth, then gradually add the whole egg.

Then add the salt, the plain flour and the chopped couverture chocolate, and mix everything together until you have a firm cookie dough. At this stage, you can also easily mix in flavourings,gel food colouringsor ingredients such ascocoa nibsorfreeze-dried fruit. This allows you to customise the flavour of your cookie cups and tailor them to your personal taste. What’s more, colourful cookie cups are real eye-catchers.

Shape the dough into six balls of equal size and press them into the cookie cup moulds. You don’t need to grease the baking tray.

Now press the matching piece into the mould until the dough rises up over the edge. You can simply trim away any excess cookie dough that spills over the edge with a small dough scraper. Bake these delicious cookies for 10 to 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 °C (fan).

Then simply remove them from the mould and leave to cool. Now you can fill them with ice cream, sorbet or other treats!
