quick to make yet sophisticated
By cups, I mean regular coffee service cups. Melt the butter and stir in the cocoa powder. Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy, then stir in the butter-cocoa powder mixture and the vanilla bean. Finally, stir in the flour and pine nuts. Spread the mixture on a greased, rimmed baking sheet and bake in a convection oven at 160°C for about 20 minutes. Once cooled, cover with chocolate coating. Then cut into approximately 2 x 2 cm cubes while the chocolate is still not completely solid. I store the cubes in a tin, separated by layers of baking paper. These cookies are really quick to make and, unfortunately, they disappear quickly.
