Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.
  3. Cut the cold butter into pieces and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until you get a sandy texture.
  4. Add the icing sugar, chopped walnuts, egg yolks and vanilla. Knead quickly until you have a smooth dough.
  5. Shape small irregular balls the size of a walnut, giving them a pebble shape, and place them on the tray.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes, until firm to the touch but still slightly matt.
  7. Let them cool completely on a rack, as the biscuits harden as they cool.
  8. Once cold, dip half of each biscuit into the melted chocolate and let it set on parchment paper.

Variations and tips

Cocoa-free version. Replace the cocoa with 30 g of extra flour and sprinkle with vanilla sugar before baking.
