Preparation

How to prepare Chocolate Kipferl

To make chocolate kipferl, chop the dark chocolate 1 place the almonds in the mixer with half of the sugar 2 and chop them not too finely to create the classic granules 3,

In a bowl, sift the flour, incorporate the remaining half of the granulated sugar 4 add the almond granules 5. Then add the cold butter in pieces and the chopped chocolate 6.

Flavor with the grated lemon peel 7 and also add the egg 8 and a pinch of salt 9.

Knead the ingredients quickly by hand 10 until you obtain a homogeneous and compact dough 11, form a loaf, wrap it with cling film 12 and let it harden in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

After the resting time, take the dough and divide it into pieces of about 0.5 oz each 13, roll the pieces to create sticks about 1/5 inch thick and 4 inches long 14, fold the sticks to create crescents 15, with these doses you will obtain about 50 cookies.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 16 and let them harden for another 30 minutes in the refrigerator. After the resting time, bake the kipferl in a preheated static oven at 340°F for 20 minutes (or ventilated oven at 300°F for 15 minutes). Once baking is complete, remove the cookies from the oven 17, let them cool on a rack. Meanwhile, place the chopped chocolate in a bain-marie 18,

heat over moderate heat until completely melted 19. Once the cookies have cooled, dip the tips in the chocolate 20 and then place them on a rack to let the chocolate dry 21.

Storage

Store the chocolate kipferl in a tin box for 3-4 days

Tip

Only for die-hard gourmands, who shudder at the word "diet": after dipping the ends of the cookies in melted chocolate, why not sprinkle them with sugar crystals or chopped hazelnuts?
