How I make it

  1. Put the flour and butter in a food processor and pulse briefly into crumbs.

  2. Add the egg and baking powder and pulse a few more times into an even, crumbly dough.

  3. Turn the dough out onto the counter and press it into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

  4. Roll olive-sized balls and press half a chocolate square into each one, closing the dough around it.

  5. Pat each ball lightly with wet hands and roll it in sugar.

  6. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes, then let cool.

What I've learned

  • I pat each ball with wet hands before rolling so the sugar sticks.
