Chocolate Сovered Button Cookies

Recipe:

Combine the room temperature butter with the sugar and beat until creamy. The sugar will not dissolve completely, this is normal.

Add the milk, vanilla extract, baking powder and salt and beat again. Add the coconut flakes. Gradually add the flour and knead until you have a dough.

Do not knead too long or the cookies will become too tough after baking.

Divide the dough into 3-4 pieces and form each piece into a cylinder about 3 cm in diameter.

Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least an hour or longer.

Cut the frozen dough into 1cm thick slices, place them on a baking sheet and poke holes in them with a toothpick, like buttons.

Bake in a preheated oven at 170 ºC for about 18-20 minutes, until the cookies begin to turn golden around the edges. Do not bake to a completely golden brown.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Dip the cooled cookies in the chocolateby half and remove any excess with a knife.

Place the cookies on a parchment sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.

Remove cookies from parchment and serve.

Store leftovers in a tightly closed container for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy!
