Preparation

How to prepare Butter-free chocolate cookies

To make butter-free chocolate cookies, finely chop the dark chocolate with a knife 1. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie, stirring frequently all the while 2. Beat the eggs together with the sugar using a manual whisk 3.

Add the oil 4 and stir it in 5. Add the melted chocolate and stir 6.

Stir the cocoa in too 7, then add the vanilla extract, the flour and the yeast 8. Finish with 3 tablespoons of chocolate drops 9 and knead rapidly, first with a spoon and then by hand.

The dough will be rather soft 10, so leave it to rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour, covered with plastic wrap so that it firms up. Once this time is up, the dough will be firm and ready for use: break off walnut-sized pieces and roll each one in the palm of your hand 11. Shape cookies that are 0.88 to 1 oz in weight. Place half a cup of chocolate drops on a plate, gently press the balls down over them so that the chocolate drops stick to each side of the dough 12.

Line a tray with parchment paper and add the cookies 13. Bake the cookies in a static oven preheated to 338°F for 15-20 minutes, remove from the oven 14 and leave to cool. When removed from the oven, the butter-free chocolate cookies will be soft but they will become crunchy and crumbly once cooled.
