a variation of grenade fragments, makes about 30 pieces

First, make a shortcrust pastry from sugar, flour, egg, salt, and butter. Chill for 1 hour, then roll it out. Using a round cutter, cut out approximately 5 cm circles. Bake these in the oven at 160°C (fan oven) for 13-15 minutes. Then let them cool thoroughly. I didn’t use all of the dough and made regular cookies from it. For the frosting, mix the vanilla cream with the milk according to the package instructions. Stir the cake scraps into the frosting. The amount of cake should make the mixture firm (about the size you could roll into balls in your hand). If you like, you can also add flavoring or alcohol. This will depend on the cake. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto the cooled cookies (to form a mountain). Melt the chocolate in a hot water bath. Dip the mountains into the melted chocolate and then decorate. Let all the cookies dry in the refrigerator. I liked them better the second day.
