FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter with the powdered cereal drink for 3 minutes on low speed.
• 2.   Replace the whisk with the paddle attachment, then add the sifted flour and cornstarch, vanilla, and vanilla sugar.
• 3.   Stop mixing when the dough comes away from the sides.
• 4.   Divide the dough into small pieces of 10 g each.
• 5.   Preheat your oven to 140°C (no convection).
• 6.   Place 3 chocolate chips in each small piece of dough and roll them into balls.
• 7.   Place 2 Chocapic® cereal pieces on each side of the dough balls for ears, one chocolate chip in the middle for the nose, and 2 vermicelli strands for the eyes.
• 8.   Place your little dogs on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• 9.   Bake for 25 to 30 minutes (30 minutes for me... it depends on your oven...).
• 10.   Transfer your little dogs to a wire rack to cool.
• 11.   Eat them when they are completely cooled.

Notes & Suggestions

• The difference between using Horlicks® or Ovomaltine® will be the color of the cookie. If you use Ovomaltine®, the head of your little dogs will be slightly darker.
  Use original Chocapic® cereal, the combination is better.
  I used dark chocolate chips and vermicelli from the Vahiné brand. They held up very well during baking.
  Store your cookies in an airtight metal container... well... if you have any left!
