• 100 g powdered sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

makes about 40 pieces

Melt the chocolate coating in a double boiler and let cool. Meanwhile, beat the butter with the powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt until very creamy. Then sift the flour and stir in. Add the egg whites and stir in. Stir in the chocolate coating at the very end. Fill the batter into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle (I always use a size 5 or 6, otherwise they’ll be too big). Pipe cat paws onto baking paper. They should all be the same shape so they’re easier to stick together. Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them! Once cooled, stick two of them together with the jelly. You can stick them together or dip them in chocolate glaze on their own, depending on your needs and preferences. Stick them together and wrap them well, they’ll become incredibly moist over time.
