This delightful treat absorbs milk effortlessly, ensuring a consistently enjoyable mouthfeel. It’s the perfect choice for those who relish dipping their cookies in milk during breakfast.

The ingredients that contribute to the make-up of this sumptuous snack include wheat flour, sugar, vegetable palm fat, wheat starch, butter, cocoa (4.1%), and chocolate (3.1%), which is comprised of sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa fat, and flavoring. Moreover, glucose syrup, raising agents such as sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate, and ammonium hydrogen carbonate, as well as an emulsifier like soy lecithin, are all part of the recipe. While these essential components create a delightful cookie, it is important to note that highlighted ingredients may trigger allergies or intolerances. Additionally, the product may contain trace amounts of nuts and eggs.

For those inspired to recreate this delectable shortbread at home, here’s a simple recipe to follow. You will need 500g of '00' flour, 50g of starch, 160g of butter, 200g of icing sugar, 50g of dark chocolate, 50g of cocoa powder, 100ml of milk, one tablespoon of baking vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

Begin by creaming the butter and icing sugar together until the mixture achieves a creamy and smooth consistency. Next, melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler and incorporate it along with the cocoa powder into the creamed mixture until it transforms into a silky cream. Dissolve the pinch of salt in the milk and blend it into the chocolate cream. Gradually add the flour, starch, and baking powder, kneading the mixture slowly until it forms a uniform dough.

Once your dough is ready, roll it out to a thickness of about 8mm. Use a heart-shaped cutter to create your cookie shapes, and place them on a greased baking sheet or parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (approximately 356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10 to 15 minutes until they are lightly golden.
