It looks even more like Christmas - 3rd advent Sunday

The third advent Sunday has come (-1 week to Christmas!!! Yuhuuuuu!) and with it the third recipe for my Christmas cookies: the whole wheat hearts dipped in chocolate. They are really easy to bake and taste sooo good.

 

Ingredients: 

250 gr. butter

100 gr. whole wheat flour

70 gr. brown sugar
a teaspoon of cinnamon
baking chocolate

What to do:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. With an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Then add the flour, the sugar, and the cinnamon. Mix until combined and then chill the dough for 10 minutes in the refrigerator. Roll out the dough on a flat surface (with flour) about one centimetre thick and using a cookie cutter form your stars. Half of them must have a hole in the middle. Put them on an oven dish and bake for 7-10 minutes. Let the cookies cool down and in the meantime melt the chocolate. Then dip one side in it; when cool enjoy!
