Homemade biscuits and cookies are so easy and fun to make. Bakeries in Pune serve a vast variety of assorted baked goods especially biscuits and cookies but nothing can replace the fresh aroma and delicious taste of home baking.
I love to try my hand at baking different goodies but cookies and biscuits do top my list. So I baked these gorgeous Chocolate Viennese Biscuits and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it as much as we relished them. These biscuits need just a total of 35 minutes. To be precise … 20 minutes of preparation and barely 15 minutes of baking and they are all good to eat. This batch of biscuit batter will give you approximately 30 biscuits.
Chocolate Viennese biscuits are a good holiday activity for children too. They will enjoy trying their hand at piping and later dipping them into chocolate. You can use assorted flavoured and colored chocolate just the way I did and it will look so pretty, dainty and colourful. They are ideal to serve at any festive occasion, a wonderful tea and coffee treat, great to serve for kids parties, do make wonderful gifts and giveaways.
These eggless beauties are so absolutely delicious and melt in the mouth. They can be served with tea or coffee or as an accompaniment to fruit fools and mousses too. Make them special and unique with a sprinkling of chopped nuts onto the chocolate coated ends of these biscuits while the chocolate is still soft, if you so prefer.
They are good to go as a mid-morningsnack at school, college or at work or enjoy them with a glass of milk.
A great treat for your loved ones and make your teatime special…Check them out… aren’t they beautiful?
