2. Shape

3. Bake
o Bake at 160°C (360°F) for 15 minutes per batch.

o Dust with icing sugar if desired.

💡 Tips (Metric Edition)
✔ Each cookie weighs ~45–50 g dough before baking.
✔ Add 5–10 ml kirsch (cherry liqueur) to the melted chocolate for an authentic Black Forest flavour (optional/adult version).
✔ Chill the shaped dough longer if you want thicker cookies.
