Make sweet gingerbread a little differently.

Replace the classic dough with a chocolate-filled dough!

Ingredients

• 2 and ¼ cups plain flour (for dusting)
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon fine salt
• ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 and ½ (about 12 tablespoons) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
• 1 and ¼ cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 bar of chocolate (of your choice)

Method

• Mix the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
• Put the butter in another bowl and beat it, on medium speed, until smooth.
• Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla and beat again.
• Melt the chocolate in a water bath and add it to the mixture. Stir well.
• Reduce the speed of the mixer and add the flour mixture from the first bowl. Mix until everything is combined.
• Divide the dough in half. Form an oval from each half and wrap it in cling film.
• Let the prepared dough rest in the cold for at least 1 hour.
• While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 175°C.
• Roll out sheets of dough about 0.5 cm thick and cut out of it, using cutters, the various shapes of your choice.
• Place the prepared gingerbread on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, spaced 2.5 cm apart.
• Bake the candy for 10-12 minutes and then let it cool. Then decorate according to your imagination.
