Layered Chocolate Cookies Recipe:

I cook the beans using a regular pressure cooker without pre-soaking. To do this, pour a glass of beans (Kidni TM "Mistral") into a saucepan, pour three glasses of boiling water, add a spoon vegetable oil to avoid excess foam and clogging of the pressure cooker valve. Don't add salt! Cook for about an hour.

Puree the finished beans using a blender along with the remaining cooking liquid. This makes approximately 600 g of finished bean puree. You will need a quarter for the cookies. Unused puree can be stored in the freezer.

Add honey and cocoa to the bean puree. Gradually pour in strongly brewed coffee and stir until a non-liquid plastic mass is obtained.

Thaw the dough sheet and roll it out quite thin. Spread the filling over the dough and roll into a roll. Cut pieces 2 cm thick, make cuts on each side on both sides. Turn out the cut ends, forming “flowers”.

Place the resulting pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with egg and sprinkle with brown sugar. Decorate the centers of the “flowers” ​​with chocolate drops or chocolate pieces. Bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Makes 12-14 crispy, moderately sweet cookies with a bright chocolate flavor. Invite your family for tea!

After 40 years, hormonal changes begin in a woman’s body. Metabolic processes decrease, we begin to lose muscle tissue, which is replaced by fat. Protein is needed for muscle growth. Red beans are an ideal source of vegetable protein without the animal fat found in meat.

Bon appetit and good mood!

Yeast and yeast-free puff pastry

I can only say in theory (since I recently found out that not everyone is aware) that puff pastry tends to be yeast-free And yeast.

1. Yeast-free puff pastry prepared from unleavened dough(flour, water and salt) with the addition of a large amount of butter, which is “beaten” into the dough by repeated folding and rolling. Puff pastries, cookies, cakes, and strudels are made from yeast-free puff pastry. By the way, the famous Napoleon cake in its French original is also made from such puff pastry without yeast.
2. Yeast puff pastry prepared in the same way, but from yeast dough. You can make croissants, buns and a variety of so-called Viennese pastries from yeast puff pastry.
