Ingredients

▢ 8.82 oz (250 g) butter (Softened | At Room Temperature)
▢ 3.53 oz (100 g) powdered sugar
▢ 2 (60 g) egg whites
▢ 9.17 oz (260 g) all-purpose flour
▢ 0.71 oz (20 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
▢ 0.35 oz (10 g) black cocoa powder

CHOCOLATE SPRITZ PREPARATION

In the bowl of your stand mixer, with the paddle attachment on, cream the softened butter with the powdered sugar for 2 minutes on medium low speed.
8.82 oz butter, 3.53 oz powdered sugar
Add the egg whites. Stir on your lowest setting until mostly combined (1 minute) it will curdle, that's normal. IMPORTANT: Do not over mix.
2 egg whites
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder and black cocoa powder. Continue to stir on low until just combined.
9.17 oz all-purpose flour, 0.71 oz unsweetened cocoa powder, 0.35 oz black cocoa powder
Place the dough in your Pastry Bag with the star tip on. Massage it for a minute in order to get the dough warmer. Then, pipe your spritz cookie into a "dragon" shape.

BAKE!

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Bake for 8 minutes (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 6 minutes). It is ready when they don't look quite done and barely golden around the edge, the top staying soft.
Once your Dragon of Wood Chocolate Cookies are out of the oven, place a round sprinkle for the "eye" and let them cool down completely on your baking sheet. When ready, spray from gold powder and slide them onto a serving plate to share or store them in a tin metal box (They stay fresh up to 3 weeks). Bon Appétit & "Gong Hei Fat Choy"!
