Ingredients
- 250 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 360 grams butter (softened)
- 2 eggs
- 500 grams flour
- 125 grams ground almonds
- 350 grams dark chocolate (chopped)
- mini marshmallows
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2In a bowl, briskly whisk the powdered sugar with the vanilla extract and the softened butter.
- 3Add the eggs and whisk again.
- 4Stir in the flour and ground almonds in several increments.
- 5Put the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
- 6On a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, form the cookies by drawing closely spaced zigzags patterns (about 4). Space the cookies well as they tend to expand while baking.
- 7Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. After baking, let cool on a rack.
- 8Melt 120 grams of chocolate in a bain marie.
- 9Once melted, add an additional 30 grams of chocolate and stir so that the whole mixture is homogeneous.
- 10With a brush, cover half of each biscuit with chocolate. These biscuits will keep for a week without a problem in an airtight container.
- 11To prepare the hot chocolate sppons, start by melting 150 grams of chocolate in a bain marie.
- 12When melted, add the remaining 50 grams of chocolate and stir to make the mixture homogeneous. If you wish, you can add a pinch of cinnamon and cardamom at this time. Pour the melted chocolate into paper liners.
- 13Stick in a small wooden spoon and "block" it straight, using the marshmallows. Once cold and hardened, unmold the tins and wrap them individually. Just dip the spoon in a cup of hot milk!

I made these as holiday gifts and they were a big hit. The chocolate spoons were so easy to make. To make the cookies even easier I simply dipped them in the melted chocolate rather than brushing it on. I also dipped some in chocolate and then crushed almonds.
