Viennese Chocolate Kisses
(Sandbusserln)
This Viennese chocolate cookie is a real treat for chocolate lovers. And it is gluten free!
My mother would bake this cookie for the holiday season and so do I today. It’s one of my favorite Austrian holiday cookies.
Mix butter and powdered sugar until creamy, add melted chocolate, add hazelnuts. Let mixture cool off (best over night) and form into small balls. Bake at low temperature, 200 F, for 20 to 25 minutes. Cookies should be a bit soft inside, when you take them out off the oven. Let cookies cool off and store in cool area.
140 gram unsalted butter
250 gram powdered sugar
140 hazelnuts (ground)
100 gram dark chocolate
Let me know how you like these!
