Description
Zart-mürbe Plätzchen, goldgelb gebacken, umhüllen eine cremige Nougatfüllung. Feiner Zimtduft verführt die Sinne, während die schokoladige Mitte auf der Zunge zergeht – ein himmlisch schmelzendes Genuss-Erlebnis.
Ingredients
- 150 g Butter
- 100 g Zucker
- 1 Ei
- 2 Eigelb
- 300 g Mehl
- 2 TL Backpulver
- 220 g Nougat
- 1 ½ TL Zimt
- 120 g Vollmilch-Kuvertüre
- 2 EL Haselnusskrokant
Instructions
- Begin by allowing the butter to soften at room temperature until it is easily workable. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and the sugar. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes pale and creamy, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the whole egg and the two egg yolks to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and mix well. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously. Once the dough comes together and is no longer sticky, form it into a ball. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to handle and help the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare the nougat filling. In a small bowl, combine the nougat with the cinnamon. Mix until the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the nougat. Set aside at room temperature to keep the nougat soft and spreadable.
- Once the dough is well-chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Using a teaspoon (about 15 to 17 grams of dough per cookie), scoop out small portions of dough and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball in the palm of your hand to form a small disc or ‚Taler‘.
- Place about 1/2 teaspoon of the nougat-cinnamon mixture in the center of each disc. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching them together to completely encase the nougat. Ensure there are no cracks or gaps so the filling does not leak during baking.
- Roll each filled cookie into a smooth ball, then gently shape it into a slightly oval form. Place the shaped cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each one.
- Once all cookies are formed, place the baking sheet with the cookies into the refrigerator again and chill for another 30 minutes. This step is crucial to help the cookies maintain their shape and prevent spreading while baking.
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (convection 160°C, gas mark 3). Once the cookies are thoroughly chilled, bake them in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The cookies should remain pale on top.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, melt the Vollmilch-Kuvertüre in a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently, until smooth and fully melted.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, fill a piping bag or a small plastic bag with the melted chocolate. Cut a small tip off the bag and drizzle thin stripes of chocolate over each cookie. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with Haselnusskrokant for a crunchy and decorative finish.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
For best results, always use room temperature ingredients for the dough to ensure a smooth and even mixture. If the nougat is too firm to work with, you can gently warm it in the microwave to soften it. Chilling the cookies before baking is essential to preserve their shape and prevent the filling from leaking. These cookies are perfect for gifting and can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate or nut toppings for decoration.
