👩🏻🍳 Step-by-Step
🔪 Instructions
The first step in making these delicious
Next, you'll cream your very soft butter with mascarpone,
In order to be working with the right consistency, though, you'll need to throw the mixture into your fridge to chill for a half hour.
While the mixture is chilling, begin chopping the remaining ladyfingers with an electric chopper and place them in a separate bowl.
After your dough has had enough time to chill, cut and roll teaspoon-sized dough balls and immediately roll in the ladyfinger crumbs. The portions of dough can plated right away, but hold off on serving until you've had a chance to melt some chocolate in a water bath or tempering device.
Once all the cookie dough balls have been rolled and covered in ladyfinger crumbs, drizzle on the melted chocolate.
Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve your bite-sized cookies!
🍽 Equipment
- Food processor or hand mixer
- Electric chopper
- Mixing bowl
- Plate
- Teaspoon
These cookies will stay good in the fridge for up to five days, but if you're planning to serve these at a holiday party, they likely won't last the night!
If you're feeling the holiday spirit outside of the regular Christmas Season, don't worry! I have a great homemade recipe you can use!
