The Homemade Butter Cookies

Before making the sausage, you’ll need to bake the cookie base using your ingredients:

  • Prep: Mix 2 eggs, salt, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla sugar. Fold in the flour and baking powder to form a dough.

  • Bake: Shape into small cookies and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12–15 minutes until golden.

  • Crush: Once cooled, crush them into a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks.

Phase 2: The “Sweet Sausage” Assembly

To turn those cookies into the dessert shown in your image, you typically need to add a chocolate binder:

Additional Ingredients Needed:

  • 100g Butter

  • 100g Sugar

  • 3-4 tbsp Cocoa Powder

  • 2-3 tbsp Milk or Cream

  • Optional: Chopped walnuts or hazelnuts (for the “fat” look in the salami)

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Binder: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Heat over low until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.

  2. Mix: Pour the chocolate mixture over your crushed butter cookies. Stir until the crumbs are well-coated and the mixture is moldable.

  3. Shape: Lay out a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Place the mixture in the center and roll it tightly into a log (sausage) shape.

  4. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight) until firm.

  5. Finish: Remove the wrap and roll the log in powdered sugar to give it the authentic “salami” look before slicing.
