Chocolate pastries with candy filling

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 1¾ cups
Cocoa Powder - ½ cup
Salt - ¼ teaspoon

Powdered Sugar - 1 cup

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix the flour, cocoa, and salt. Using a mixer, beat the sugar and half of the softened butter until creamy. Add the egg and dry ingredients, knead well, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 356°F (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Take 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into balls, placing them on the baking sheets and gently pressing them down with a spoon to flatten. Bake for about 11 minutes, ensuring they do not become crispy. The cookies should remain soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and transfer to a plate.

Step 3

Using a mixer, beat the powdered sugar and the remaining butter. Add the mint extract and 2 drops of food coloring. Beat well until light pink, adding more coloring if desired. Spread a little cream on 1 cookie and press another on top, allowing the cream to slightly ooze out from the edges. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
