Matchstick Shortbread Cookies

Delicate crispy cookies in the shape of large matches. Try it! Iʼve made a lot of different cookies, but these cookies are just something!! Yes, yes, it is so tender and crispy, it just melts in your mouth and disappears from the plate very quickly :) it’s impossible to resist. If you bake these cookies in the form of small curls or stars, you can combine them with condensed milk, it will turn out very tasty! Try it, Iʼm sure youʼll like it!

Step 4

Step 4
Beat until creamy

Step 5

Step 5
Sift the flour with baking powder and starch, add it into the butter mixture in small portions, and knead into a homogeneous dough. If the dough turns out to be too dense, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk (I needed 2 tablespoons), this dough will be much easier to squeeze through the bag

Step 6

Step 6
Place the finished dough into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Squeeze cookies onto the prepared baking sheet in the form of long strips, about 10 cm in length.

Step 7

Step 7
Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. We take out the cookies and let them cool, be careful, warm cookies are very fragile and very easy to break.

Step 8

Step 8
While the cookies are cooling, break the chocolate bar into small pieces and melt in a water bath or in the microwave

Step 9

Step 9
If you melt it in the microwave, be careful not to overheat the chocolate, because then it will simply become grainy and will never turn into a smooth, beautiful mass.

Step 10

Step 10
Dip one side of the cooled cookies into slightly cooled melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off and place on parchment. Leave until the chocolate hardens completely. As soon as the chocolate hardens, our cookies are ready. Bon appetit!
