Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 150 g butter
• 2 m.-sized eggs
• 125 g sugar
• 250 g flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 100 g dark chocolate, melted
• 2 tbsp, heaped cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 2 packets of vanilla sugar
• possibly bourbon vanilla flavor or 50 g chopped hazelnuts
• possibly sugar for rolling

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Rest time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Mix the butter, eggs, and sugar, then add the flour and baking powder. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Divide the dough in half and mix the melted chocolate and cocoa powder into one half. Add the vanilla sugar and, if desired, bourbon vanilla or chopped nuts to the other half and mix everything well. Roll out the dark dough and form the light dough into a log. Cover the log with the dark dough. Place the dough in the freezer for a short time—about 10 minutes—to make it easier to cut slices from the log. Preheat the oven to 160°C (top/bottom heat: 140°C). Remove the log from the freezer. If you like, roll it over sugar to give the cookies a crispy edge while baking. Cut approximately 1 cm wide slices from the log, place them on a prepared baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for about 12–15 minutes.
