Suklaamurokeksit
Ainekset
- 2 kupit Yleisjauho - 1 toteaa
- 1 kuppi Maidoton voi (suolaton) - 2 toteaa
- 1 kuppi Hienosokeri
- ½ kuppi Makeuttamaton kaakaojauhe
- 2 ruokalusikallista Manteli-maitoa - 3 toteaa
Koristella
- ½ kuppi Maidottomat tummasuklaapalat - 4 toteaa
- ⅓ kuppi Kuivattu kookos - 5 toteaa
Ohjeet
- Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Lightly oil the surface with cooking oil spray and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, stir softened butter and powdered sugar with a rubber spatula until they form a creamy, smooth paste. You can use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or an electric beater.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, and milk and stir to form a crumbly dough. Then, knead and squeeze by hand to form a consistent cookie dough.
- If the dough is too dry, add a bit more almond milk. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour, but don't over-add flour. The dough is soft and sticky, and that's normal. You just don't want a dough that is too moist.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each one into a log about 0.8 inches wide (2 cm).
- Use the back of a fork to press print all along the dough logs, leaving 0.2 inches between each print. That's where you will cut the cookies apart from each other.
- When the whole log has been marked with the fork, use a knife to cut cookies. One cut between each fork mark makes one shortbread cookie.
- Place each cookie on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes.
- Kuumenna uuni 180 °C:een.
- Bake the shortbread cookies for 14 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).
- Cool down on the baking sheet and then on a cooling rack before decorating.
Decorating Shortbread
- To decorate, melt 1/2 cup of dark or white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it in 30-second bursts, stir, and repeat until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Dip each chocolate shortbread end into melted chocolate, then into unsweetened desiccated coconut if you like. Place back on the cooling rack.
- Refrigerate the cooling rack for an hour to quickly set the chocolate shells.

Ainesosat ja vaihdot
Näiden keksien valmistukseen tarvitset vain 5 perusainesosaa.
- Yleisjauho – Provides the structure for these crumbly cookies. For a gluten-free version, use my gluteenittoman ruokavalion muuntamisopas.
- Maidoton voi – Using unsalted, dairy-free butter ensures these cookies stay vegan-friendly. Margarine also works well, and if you prefer dairy, you can use regular butter for a similar texture.
- Hienosokeri – Adds sweetness and keeps the cookies soft. Powdered sugar dissolves quickly, which is perfect for this tender dough.
- Makeuttamaton kaakaojauhe – Creates the rich chocolate flavor. You can use Dutch-processed or natural cocoa powder, depending on your preference.
- Manteli-maitoa – Moistens the dough slightly. You can substitute any plant-based milk like oat, soy, or coconut milk.

Let me share with you a few more tips to make perfect cookies.
- Achieve the right dough consistency – Start with the specified amount of almond milk, adding a touch more if the dough is too dry. The dough should be soft but not overly sticky. Add a bit of extra flour if it feels too moist.
- Fork Impressions for a Classic Look – Pressing the back of a fork along the dough log creates a lovely, classic look while also helping to define each cookie’s edges. Leave a little space between each fork mark for easier cutting.
- Chill the Dough Before Baking – Refrigerating the cookies for 20-30 minutes before baking helps them hold their shape, resulting in a perfectly crisp texture.
