Sweet Chocolate Hearts
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl placed over a saucepan of boiling water, add chocolate, butter, and brown sugar, stirring frequently until the chocolate has completely melted. Remove from heat and stir, then let it cool slightly. Add the egg to the chocolate mixture and beat with a mixer at low speed. Gradually add the flour mixture. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half to a thickness of 6 mm, place on a baking sheet, and freeze for about 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Using a cookie cutter, cut out heart shapes. Place them on a baking sheet, spaced about 1 cm apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool and serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
