Method

  1. Rub the butter into the flour until combined.
  2. Add the sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt, then add the egg and bring the dough together without over‑kneading.
  3. If the dough is still dry, add 1 tablespoon cold water and bring it together, then cover and chill in the fridge for half an hour.
  4. Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment and cut into a tea‑envelope shape — see photo. You can make a small hole at the top of each piece to thread a string later, just like a real tea bag.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C.
  6. When the cookies have cooled, dip one edge of the tea‑bag cookie into chocolate sauce.
  7. Place the cookies in the fridge to set the sauce, then serve.
  8. Put liquid milk in a saucepan over the heat; when it warms, add chocolate pieces and stir until the chocolate melts.
  9. Use the sauce immediately.
