Such beauties, with mouth-watering cracks on the surface, are favorites in my baking collection! Very easy to prepare, and the flavor will conquer any chocoholic! Taste... mmm, insanely chocolatey!

How to cook Chocolate gingerbread with "cracks"

Step 1

Break the chocolate bar into pieces, put in a container, add butter and, stirring, melt in a water bath. Beat the egg with the sugar to make a fluffy white foam.

Step 2

Combine chocolate and egg mixtures, mix well. Chop the nuts (you can use a rolling pin) and add to the mass.

Step 3

Mix sifted flour with baking powder. Pour in small portions into the chocolate mass, stirring constantly. Knead the dough until smooth, cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 4

After a while, take the dough out of the refrigerator. Form balls about 2.5-3 cm in diameter (too big ones will break, and small ones will dry out quickly). Roll each ball in powdered sugar. Don't worry, it won't squeak after baking.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes. The crust should not be hard, but the inside of the gingerbread should remain slightly soft. But not raw, of course.

Step 6

Cool the finished gingerbread cookies, put them in a beautiful glass jar and tie a ribbon beautifully. A gift that hits the very heart, to the last chocolate crumb!
