A chocolate twist on a classic featuring black cocoa and white couverture filling! Engelsaugen, or Angel's Eyes, are small shortcrust biscuits with a fruity jam filling, resembling the American thumbprint cookies. They are a real classic for Christmas's cookie tray. The dough is easy to prepare and is literally melt-in-mouth. Ground almonds are also added to provide a wonderful nutty flavour. I like the effect of the contrast of white chocolate and deep black, but you can also fill your angel's eye biscuits with jelly or melted nut nougat.

- Mix the flour, erythritol crystals or sugar, ground almonds and vanilla powder in a large bowl.
- Cut in the butter and knead everything into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into two and shape each dough into a roll, wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Cut each chilled dough roll into 25 pieces and shape each into small balls. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. You can either use a wooden spoon handle or a measuring spoon for the hollow. If the dough sticks to the wooden spoon, dip it in a little flour. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes.
- Chop the white chocolate couverture and melt in a bain-marie over a low heat. Place the melted couverture in a small freezer bag, cut off a small corner, fill into the centre of the chocolate angel eyes and leave to set.

Writing from Australia - It is Boxing Day here and Christmas well forgotten until next year - our BD sales well equal those of your Black Friday :) ! Had never heard of 'Engelsaugen' here or back in Germany . . . but they look quite delightful and are really not 'that naughty'! best for the rest of the holiday break . . .
That's some wonderful yum! Merry Christmas Christmas from all of us at Brian’s Home!

Hi Angie, Hope you had a Happy Christmas! I love cookies like these but for some weird reason, my better half doesn't like jam and cookies in combination. She'd be alright with some frosting... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
