Step 6:

Pour in the egg in three portions, stirring with a whisk.

Step 7:

Sift the flour mixture through a sieve into the bowl with the resulting mass.

Cooking tips

To prevent the cookies from becoming too dense, mix regular flour with cornstarch. This will create a similar product to the commercial "cake flour" found in stores overseas.

Instead of a chocolate bar, you can use ready-made chocolate chips or crumbs.

For kneading the dough, the butter must be warmed to room temperature.

Place the balls on the baking sheet at a sufficient distance from each other, as they will spread during baking.
