These little cookies will make you look like a pro, even if you're not. They taste like the perfect mix between a chocolate truffle and a freshly baked brownie, all in one bite.

Snowflake cookies

100 grams butter, at room temperature
130 grams sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
200 grams dark chocolate, melted

2 cups icing sugar 

Instructions
1. Beat the soft butter and sugar until fluffy, add the eggs one by one. Add the   melted chocolate and on low speed carefully add the flour. 
2. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap, and form the dough into a flat square approx.1,5 cm high. Put it in the freezer for at least an hour. It has to be completely hard. 
3.Heat oven to 160°C. Take out the dough from the freezer and make small squares approx. 2.5x2.5 cm, roll into balls. Then cover with icing sugar, do it twice to make sure it's completely covered. Put on a lined baking sheet. Make sure that they are not too close to each other, approx. 4-5 cm in between. 
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies start to crack. Transfer to a cold rack and let cool completely.
