Chocolate Dulce de Leche Cones

Step by step

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine room-temperature butter and the sugar, mixing until creamy. Add vanilla extract and one egg, and mix again until combined.

   
2. 2

   Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, preferably through a sifter. Beat, running a spatula along the sides to scrape off the flour stuck there.

   
3. 3

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.

   
4. 4

   Unwrap the dough, break it apart and bring it back together without kneading too much.

   
5. 5

   Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, adding a generous amount of flour both underneath and on top.

   
6. 6

   Cut out the circles with a cutter and place them on a baking sheet.

   
7. 7

   Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes.

   
8. 8

   Fill a piping bag with thick dulce de leche (pastry-grade) and assemble the cones. (See the video for more detail.)

   
9. 9

   Coat with melted chocolate candy coating. (If you don't know how to melt it, I have a video explaining it!)
