Ingredients for Afghan Biscuits:
- Butter at room temperature 190 g
- Brown sugar 90 g
- Wheat flour 200 g
- Cocoa powder 25 g
- Corn flakes 50 g
- Butter (for topping) 12 g
- Chocolate fondant without milk (for the topping) 20 g
- Icing sugar (for topping) 55 g
- Hot water (for coverage) 15 ml
- Half walnuts (for topping) 40
Equipment
- Stirrer
- Baking tray
- Greaseproof paper
- Small bowl
- Oven
Step by Step Instructions
- We beat the butter together with the sugar until obtaining a homogeneous mass. Next, we add the flour and cocoa, previously sifted, and stir again until integrated. Finally, we add the corn flakes and stir until they have been incorporated into the mixture.
- With our hands we take portions of the mixture, roll, and place them on one or two baking trays covered with greaseproof paper, squashing slightly. We leave enough space between them so that, when they expand with the heat of the oven, they do not stick to each other.
- We cook in the oven, pre-heated to 180ºC up and down, for about 12-15 minutes. After the cooking time has elapsed, we remove the tray from the oven and let them cool down before transferring them to a rack for complete cooling.
- Meanwhile, we prepare the fondant chocolate coating. To do this, in a bowl, we melt the butter and the chocolate. We can do it in the microwave with short bursts of heat to avoid burning us or in a water bath. Add the icing sugar and hot water, mix well and transfer to a pastry bag.
- When the cookies are completely cold, we spread a little chocolate fondant coating on them (it will have to be hot to be able to handle it) and top with half a nut. Once this is done, we have our Afghan biscuits ready to be eaten.
