Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate
The holidays are about decadence—putting on your highest heels or nicest tie, staying out too late, pouring yourself a bit too much Champagne, and making these Frosted-Malt Chocolate Biscuits. They’re rich, but not overly sweet. They have flaky layers and dolloped frosting, which will make them stand tall next to all the other holiday cookies. They’re beautiful but understated with monochrome coloring. And they are very, very chocolaty.dough with a little more going on. Don’t be scared, though.
You start by pulsing chocolate wafers . It’s the first step, but this detail pushes things over the top, as the shards get mixed into the dough and baked, anonymous until you bite in and taste the goodness that is pure chocolate hiding in the flaky layers of your cookie.The dough itself is made of flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, kosher salt and—wait for it—. Depending on when you were born, this might be an unfamiliar ingredient. But fear not.
Next you add butter right into the food processor, which gets pulsed with the dry ingredients until it is the size of peas. And then finally comes your cream, with a touch of vanilla extract, added by hand and mixed with a fork, to ensure that you don’t over-mix. Remember, you want those flaky layers, like a biscuit. It’ll look crumbly, but don’t freak out. Knead the whole thing a couple of times until it comes together and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to chill.
The punching out goes fairly quickly, but if your mom happens to call you back in the middle of punching and you accidentally let the dough get soft , pop it back in the fridge for a few minutes and then continue on your way. While the cookies bake and cool, make the chocolate frosting that goes on top. This takes all of 5 minutes and yet the combination of chocolate, corn syrup , and heavy cream creates a luxuriously silky concoction. In fact, I put a couple of spoonfuls in my mouth before dollops ever made it onto my cooled cookies. Then I switched spoons, people.on each one.
