Chocolate mint cookies

Ingredients

3-4 sprigs of fresh mint
1 egg yolk
100 g brown sugar
80 g butter
140 g flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch of coarse sea salt
100 g dark chocolate


Preparation

Wash the fresh mint thoroughly in cold water, then dry it with kitchen paper, pick off the leaves and chop them carefully.

Beat the egg yolks and sugar until fluffy.

Melt the butter and pour it into the egg yolk and sugar mixture.

Then add flour, baking powder and salt as well as the chopped mint.

Roughly chop the chocolate and mix in carefully.

Form a “sausage” / “roll of dough” out of the dough and put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour so that the dough becomes nice and firm.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Cut the dough roll into slices...

...place them well apart on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake each tray in the oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 10 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool thoroughly and then carefully remove them from the tray.

Bon appetit!
