Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat 150 g of butter and 80 g of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer for better results.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add 2 tbsp of oil, 1 egg, and 8 g of vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract) to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in 300 g of flour, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of baking powder. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, forming a soft dough.
Rest the Dough: Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to shape.
Step 2: Shape and Bake the Biscuits
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Form the Biscuits: Roll the dough into small balls, flatten them slightly, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
Grind the Almonds: In a food processor, grind 1 cup of roasted almonds until finely ground.
Crush the Biscuits: Crush 2 cups of plain biscuits (like graham crackers or digestive biscuits) into fine crumbs. You can use a rolling pin or food processor for this step.
Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the ground almonds, crushed biscuits, and a generous amount of chocolate cream (Nutella or any chocolate spread) until it forms a thick, cohesive mixture. This will be the filling for the biscuits.
Step 4: Assemble the Cookies
Sandwich the Cookies: Take two baked biscuits and sandwich them together using the almond and chocolate filling. Repeat until all biscuits are filled.
