Steps
To start our mixed cookies, knead butter, sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Add the egg and mix until it is absorbed into the dough.
Finally, add 1 3/4 cups of flour and the potato starch and knead until you get a classic shortcrust texture.
Divide the dough into two equal parts, incorporate cocoa into one part while adding the remaining 1/4 cup of flour to the other.
Form two dough balls, wrap them in plastic wrap and let them rest in the fridge for about 2 hours until the dough hardens.
After resting, quickly reshape the dough, roll it out with a rolling pin and create all the shapes you want using your imagination.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a static oven at 350°F/360°F for about 10-12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Once cooled, you can glaze them with melted chocolate.
An optional ingredient that can enhance the flavor of your cookies is lemon zest. Simply grate a lemon or orange zest into the dough to give it more fragrance.
