Chocolate-covered gofio cookies

Directions

• Put the butter and sugar in a bowl. Mix with a spatula until it forms a cream.
• Mix the eggs separately and add them gradually to the cream.
• Add the juice and orange peel and mix again.
• Sift the gofio, the flour, the baking powder and the salt and add it until it forms a very tender dough.
• If necessary, add a little more flour.
• Take it to the refrigerator and keep it cold until the dough hardens and can be worked.
• Take portions of dough and stretch them out to a thickness of half a centimetre.
• Cut the cookies with a circular cutter of 5 centimeters in diameter and place them on a buttered plate.
• Bake in a moderate oven for approximately 15 minutes or until they feel cooked.
• Remove and let cool.
• Chocolate bath. Put the sugar and the cocoa in a small saucepan.
• Take it to a soft fire stirring always until the butter joins with the sugar and the cocoa forming a cream.
• Leave a few more minutes and remove.
• Bathe the cookies with the chocolate bath when it is still hot because once it is cold it gets hard.
