source : www.lisaiscooking.blogspot.com
Ingredients
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder (aku pake tulip black forest)
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour/1 cup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.In a large bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar, cocoa, flour and salt until well blended. Cut in the butter until lumps are no larger than peas. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until a stiff dough forms. It may take a minute to come together.
3.On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. If the dough is too sticky, chill for a little bit. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
4.Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the surface appears dry. Allow cookies to cool for a couple minutes on the baking sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Ganache Filling
Ingredients
* 9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
Directions
1. Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.
2. frosting chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy and ganache is ready to use to fill the cookies.
