Ljubezen gre skozi želodec (Valentine cookies)

Ljubezen gre skozi želodec. Pa naj še kdo reče, da ni dober občutek, ko ti ljubljena oseba pripravi kaj slastnega za pod zob. Jaz sem naredila za svoje najdražje kekse na palčki. Za kekse sem dobila idejo iz lizik, ki se prodajajo za valentinovo v obliki srčkov. Malo me je skrbelo, če se bodo keksi lepo držali na palčki, ne da bi padli dol in strah je bil povsem odveč. Za kekse sem si izbrala preprost recept krhkih keksov. Narejeni so iz:

- 350g moke

- 150g sladkorja v prahu

- 3 rumenjaki

-250g margarine

- 1 vanilij sladkor

- Nutella ali marmelada za polnilo

- jedilna čokolada, olje in mrvice za dekoracijo

- palčke

Iz sestavin zgnetemo testo ter ga damo za pol ure počivati na hladno (tako se bo kasneje lažje valjalo in se ne bo prijemalo na površino). Testo razvaljamo na debelino pol centimetra in z modelčki naredimo obliko keksov (srčkov). En keks namažemo z želenim polnilom (Nutella, marmelada,...), na sredino vstavimo palčko ter damo na prvi keks drugega. Da se lepo držita skupaj si pomagamo z vilico, ki jo predhodno posujemo z moko, da testo ne vlečemo in ohrani obliko.  Pečico nastavimo na 180 stopinj in pečemo toliko časa, da se robovi lepo zapečejo (to je okoli 15 minut, sama vedno delam po občutku, včasih minuto več, včasih manj). Ko jih spečemo jih pustimo na pekaču, da se ohladijo. Ko se ohladijo so pripravljeni na krašenje. 

Kako okrasiti pecivo s čokolado? Jedilni čokoladi nad vodno paro dodaš malo olja in mešaš dokler se ne stali. Olja dodamo res čisto malo, saj se v nasprotnem primeru čokolada ne bo strdila. Kekse lahko v čokolado namakamo, lahko pa si pomagamo z žlico in kapljamo po njih. Preden se je čokolada strdila sem dodala še pisane mrvice in kokos.

Da so keksi videti kot kupljeni, sem jih zavila v folijo in dodala rdeč trak. Mislim, da niso tako slabi ne? Prav tako pa je njihov okus fenomenalen.

Love goes through the stomach. Whether anyone else says it's not a good feeling when your loved one prepare something delicious for you to eat. I'm made for my loved ones cookies on a stick. For biscuits I got the idea from lollipops which sell them for Valentine's Day in the shape of a heart. I was a little worried if they will hold a biscuit on a stick without falling down and the fear was completely unnecessary. For biscuits I have chosen a simple recipe brittle biscuits. They are made of:

- 350g flour
- 150g powdered sugar
- 3 egg yolks
-250g margarine
- 1 vanilla sugar
- Nutella or jam for the filling
- cooking chocolate, oil and crumbs for decoration
- sticks

Knead the dough from the ingredients and put him to rest for half an hour on cold.  Roll out the dough to a thickness of half a centimeter and make biscuits (hearts) with the models. Fill one half with desired filling (Nutella, jam, ...), insert the stick on the filling and put the second biscuit on it. Use a fork to stick both biscuits together. Set the oven to 180 degrees and bake until the edges become brown (it's about 15 minutes). When they are baked leave them on the baking tray to cool. When they cool it they are ready to decorate.

How to decorate cakes with chocolate? Melt the cooking chocolate with some oil above the steam.  Add little oil because otherwise the chocolate will not harden it. Biscuits can be soaked in chocolate, you can help yourself with a spoon and drip the chocolate on them. Before the chocolate harden I added colorful crumbs and coconut.

To become a bought look of cookies I wrapped them in foil and add a red tape. I think they are not so bad right? And their taste is phenomenal.
