Halloween cookies with a sweet shortcrust pastry prepared with the usual 50 g of white chocolate. Since I discovered that the shortcrust becomes more crumbly and has a tantalizing flavor, sweet but not too much, I always add chocolate to the dough. Unlike all savory dishes, improvisation does not apply to sweets. For sweets, precision is needed, a scale is required, and one must be more than precise. It is always a good habit to weigh all ingredients before starting a preparation like cookies in this case, thus simplifying and speeding up the preparation. Ideal for Halloween, these cookies can actually be prepared anytime, at any moment, they keep for a long time, and when closed in a jar, they maintain their crumbliness for a long time.
