There are, of course, plenty of versions of them. Upon request of my mom who loves them, I am going to offer you my Christmas version – Luxurious Austrian Cookies.
The base is a two level cookie dough flavoured with walnuts and cocoa powder, connected with a smooth rum-nutty-marmalade filling, topped with a layer of good quality chocolate. Impressive, easy and stunning!
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes + 1 hour sit of The Pastry Dough in fridge
