This is definitely my recipe for favorite tea pastries and it is for three reasons. The first has to do with its ingredients, all common in our pantry; the second with the process of elaboration, really simple; and the third, and most importantly, for its delicious taste!
Made with a simple combination of butter, sugar, egg and flour, the dough is easy to handle. It is a solid dough that allows us to play with pasta cutters of different sizes and shapes. The pastas by themselves are delicious, but if we also incorporate a little cinnamon and the partially bathe in chocolate they are irresistible.

Ingredients
- 250 g. butter at softened temperature.
- 125 g. of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 500 g. pastry flour
- 70% cocoa chocolate
Preparation
- Put the softened butter, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. We beat with the electric rods until a uniform creamy dough is obtained.
- Then add the egg little by little and without stopping to beat.
- Finally, iwe incorporate the sifted flour aa mass; first with a spatula and then with your hands until it is completely integrated. We should not knead it in excess, what is necessary to form a ball.
- We wrap in plastic wrap the dough and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- After time, we place the dough on a floured surface. We knead it lightly and we spread with a roller, until a plate is 4-5 mm thick.
- We preheat the oven to 190º.
- We use a pasta cutter to cut the cookies and place them, as we make them, on the baking tray, lined with parchment paper.
- We take for 5 minutes to the fridge and then to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes approximately or until we see that the edges begin to brown.
- Let cool on a rack.
- Meanwhile, we melt the chocolate in the microwave, in batches of 20 seconds so that it does not burn.
- When the pasta is cold, we dip them one by one Particularly in the chocolate and we put them back on the grid.
- After the tray is completed, we take them to the fridge 5 minutes for the chocolate to harden.
