  5 oz or 142g

  2 large yolk (separated from white) or 34g

Directions

1. Grease a large baking sheet. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale. Beat in the egg yolks, then add the flour and cocoa powder to form a dough. Turn out and knead, then refrigerate for a while. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out about a third of the dough thinly. Cut out approximately 30 circles with a small cutter. Place them on the baking sheet and put a piece of chocolate in the center of each. Roll out the remaining dough and cut the same number of larger circles. Place them on top of the chocolate, pressing gently to seal the edges.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Serve hot or cold. Enjoy!
