Servings: 60 biscuits
Calories: 26kcal

Equipment

  • Cookies press with a star shaped cone

Ingredients

  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 75 g low fat butter 40% fat
  • 75 g greek yogurt 10% fat
  • 60 g powdered sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • zest from a lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or vanilla essence or a few drops of vanilla extract
  • 40 g 70% cocoa chocolate for garnishing

Instructions

  • Start the oven to preheat it at 190°C.
  • Cut the butter into small cubes and leave to rest at room temperature.
  • Grate the lemon and mix the resulted zest with a few pinches of sugar. This will release the lemony flavor better.
  • Sift the flour in a bowl.
  • Mix in a small bowl the greek yogurt with the lemon zest and the vanilla paste.
  • Use a mixer to mix together the butter with the sugar, then add the egg yolks.
  • Add the greek yogurt composition and mix together.
  • Gradually add the flour while mixing on low speed.
  • Add the obtained composition to a cookie press and add the star shaped cone at the end.
  • Prepare a baking tray with baking paper and create finger shaped biscuits, about 5-6 cm long. You can wobble the cookie press a little to create more undulated biscuits.
  • Insert the tray to the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 190°C.
  • Take out and leave to cool completely, then microwave the chocolate for 2-3 minutes in a small bowl and using a teaspoon, drizzle melted chocolate in random moves across the biscuits.
  • Enjoy with a cup of tea or as they are :)

Notes

From this composition I obtained 60 biscuits. Each biscuit has about 26 kcals and about 1 g of fat.
