Chocolate salami cookies for Xmas – no eggs no bake

No bake, no eggs cookies. Fun to make, incredibly easy and festive. I used to prepare the chocolate salami cookies when I was a child and now it’s time for my little Luca to prepare it with me and have fun together mashing the cookies and kneading the dough…and tasting some of it during the process (there are no eggs…no worries!!). What we need:

Let’s start with the fun part: smash the Italian biscotti

 

than with a mixer I reduced the hazelnuts in a nice powder and melted the chocolate in the microwave (20/30 sec at a time, stir and heat again up until is melted)

It’s time to mix everything together. the dry ingredients first

Than the butter (room temperature and in small pieces…it will be easier!) + the chocolate + and the water

   

It’s time to call your kids and have fun mixing with your hands 🙂 it’s a bit messy, but totally worth!

Sprinkle few tablespoon of powdered sugar on a flat surface and roll the dough in order to create a “salami” shape

 

Wrap the salami in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. Done!

your chocolate salami cookies are ready to be sliced!

This is my favorite recipe for Luca’s bake sales at school 🙂

ciao!

see you next week with another recipe!!
