Cocoa cookies are simple and delicious shortbread cookies perfect to enjoy for breakfast or any time of the day. In their simplicity, they are always highly appreciated. Made with a short crust without butter. The strong flavor of cocoa makes these cookies delightful; once tried, you won’t be able to resist them. Quick and tasty. The preparation of these treats is so easy that we can also involve children, as I did with my nephew.
Let’s start baking…
Happy cooking, a hug
