Cooking method
-
Step 1:
For this cookie log you'll need shortbread cookies, sugar, butter, milk, walnuts, and cocoa.
-
Step 2:
Crush the cookies into crumbs, but leave some small, unground pieces here and there.
-
Step 3:
Add the chopped walnuts. Mix.
-
Step 4:
In a small saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, butter, and cocoa.
-
Step 5:
Heat over medium heat, stirring. The chocolate mixture should turn even and smooth.
-
Step 6:
Pour the chocolate mixture into the cookie crumbs and nuts. Mix. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
-
Step 7:
Turn the mixture out onto a board lined with plastic wrap. Carefully shape it along the board into a still-shapeless "log." Tuck in the edges of the wrap and put the future log somewhere cold.
-
Step 8:
Reshape the log gently every 15–20 minutes; as the butter firms up, it compacts the mixture and the log holds its shape better.
-
Step 9:
Leave the finished dessert overnight somewhere cold. Remove the plastic wrap. You can roll the finished log in cocoa or powdered sugar.
-
Step 10:
Cut the dessert into small slices and serve with a fragrant cup of hot tea.
