Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 18 min
Total time: 38 min
Yield: 18 servings
Ingredients: Flour: 290 g (adjust as needed); Butter: 150 g; Powdered Sugar: 100 g; Egg: 1; Cocoa Powder: 20 g; Baking Powder: 1 tsp; Salt: 1 pinch; Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp; Egg White: 1 (chicken protein); Sesame Seeds: 80 g; White Chocolate: 80 g; Candies or Nuts (for garnish)

Directions

1. Step

In a mixing bowl, combine butter (150 g), powdered sugar (100 g), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth. Add 1 whole egg and mix again until fully incorporated. Gradually add flour (290 g), baking powder (1 tsp), and cocoa powder (20 g). Mix until a soft dough forms. If needed, add a little more flour while kneading gently by hand.

2. Step

Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball. Brush the dough ball with egg white and coat it with sesame seeds (80 g). Using your fingers or a small tool, create a hole or indentation in the center of each ball for the garnish later. Arrange the shaped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Step

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes or until firm. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Fill the center holes with melted white chocolate (80 g) and garnish with candies or nuts for a decorative finish. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
